Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The underlined lists in the sentence be punctuated differently, the items in the first list should be separated by commas and the items in the second list should be separated by semicolons.

Why is the punctuation like that?

Each item in the second list consists of two parts separated by a comma (City and State), hence, the semicolons should be used in that case to relegate commas to a 'secondary place' so they can keep their function in the sentence (separating city from state).

Therefore, the Option C is correct.

What is easier living or dying?????

Answers

Answer:

Living.

Explanation:

Dying is harder than living: because of the pain you go through, and the people you hurt around you.

Answer:

More easier living bc There is more people standing than dying each day.

Explanation:

The quote that is punctuated correctly is “…if it’s worth dying for, it’s worth living for.” (Mitchell, 1936). Citing a qoute from an author must have a double apostrophe at both ends of the sentences and then followed by the author that you got. The name of the author that should be used is the last name followed by a comma, space and then the year of the cited article. A page number shall not be included because you are not writing a reference but rather, a citation.
