Except for a few pigeons, Central Park was deserted. Mist hung above the chilled grass. Patches of old snow, scattered here and there, looked like white puddles. The sun hung just above the horizon, casting red and orange streaks across low-hanging clouds. The portly, gray-haired gentleman jogging down the path looked out of place. For one thing, he was dressed in ordinary street clothes, not a sweat suit. Also, every few seconds, he looked anxiously back over his shoulder. Coming closer to me, I saw that his face was flushed. He was panting, almost gasping. Abruptly, looking this way and that, he moved behind a tree. Seeming not to notice my presence, he stood with his back against the trunk, panting heavily. After a moment, he poked his head out to survey the path. It was still empty, except for a squirrel that dashed across the path like a furry dart. I checked my watch. It was now 7:30. Mentally marking the time, I aimed my camera toward the man's face. 8. In this paragraph, a white puddle is a simile for a. snow. b. grass. c. fear. d. mist.

In which one of the following sentences could you best use a semicolon?

A If you ask me Jerry is a tennis whiz.

B When she is worried Lucille eats a lot.

C Jerry loves tennis he plays everyday.

D Lucille bought a new tennis racket and brought it home.

Answers

I think it's C.

Because, lemme put commas on each sentences....

(1) If you ask me, Jerry is a tennis whiz.

(2) When she is worried, Lucille eats a lot.

(3) Jerry loves tennis, he plays everyday.

(4) Lucille bought a new tennis racket and brought it home. << Where should I put it?

So, (4) is automatically out of question. (1) and (2) seems okay with comma, but (3) is a little bit weird. (3) supposed to have 'and' in the middle, but it's not there. So, you can put semicolon there, to separate the words.

This line of poetry from "Totally like whatever, you know?" is most likely stated as a question for what purpose? "I have nothing personally invested in my own opinions, okay?"

c- To mock the manner of speaking that the writer is criticizing
d-To show that the speaker does not know how to use punctuation

Answers

The purpose of this line summarizes the general intention of the whole poem by Taylor Mali where he exposes how new generations use language in an almost incongruent form and how they are not self-aware neither self-assured of themselves and the way they follow tendencies in communication more than actually convey a message.

The correct answer is C To mock the manner of speaking that the writer is criticizing.

The other options are not correct because they don't show the critical aspect of this piece of work which is totally focused on the way we communicate to each other.

To mock the manner of speaking that the writer is criticizing is the reason why that line of poetry is stated as a question.
