Answer:

Answer:

At the beginning of this excerpt, we see the narrator (Theodore Dreiser) reflecting on the nature of his brother. The excerpt then switches to the narrative storytelling of an event that clarifies and supports this reflection. Because this is a work of nonfiction and Dreiser is recounting real people and their experiences, he makes it known that it’s almost impossible to use words to capture the essence of what his brother was truly like. He proceeds to narrate an incident that helps the readers get a better understanding of his brother and his nature. Dreiser describes the incident as though he is telling a fictional story. He provides descriptive details about the atmosphere and the character (his brother) in the scene, just like a scene from a piece of fiction. He draws on his factual knowledge of his brother’s traits and uses this brief, real-life incident to help readers understand his brother and how he was generous, sympathetic, and a tad bit mischievous. He uses descriptive language to add depth to the incident and maintain readers’ attention.

Using the punctuation clues below, which of the following is a magazine article? "Modern Sewing" Modern Sewing (Italicized)
Modern Sewing (Underlined)
"Modern Sewing" (Italicized)

Answers

Answer:

"Modern Sewing"

Explanation:

In MLA, titles of books, journals, magazines, and websites should be underlined.  However, titles of articles, episodes, interviews, and songs should be in quotes. Since the question is asking about a magazine article, we know the title should be in quotes.

Answer:

The correct punctuation shows that the one that is a magazine article is "Modern Sewing"

Explanation:

According to the rules of punctuation in the case of titles or written work we have to:

* Italicize titles of works, which in this case includes a magazine.

* Use quotation marks for shorter works, this talks about the specific work inside of a bigger one such as a magazine article.

Then even when it refers to a magazine, it does not talk about the title of the magazine but to the article inside of it so the only option that covers all is "Modern Sewing"
