Which sentence is correctly punctuated with a colon?
The sentence that is correctly punctuated with a colon is,
"I have finally mastered new tricks for the half-pipe: the pop tart, the barrel roll, and the Miller flip."
A Colon can be used instead of a semi-colon between the two independent clauses. the clauses are meaningful but to some extent incomplete. The clause after the colon explains, expands or illustrates the preceding clause. In the above sentence, the first independent clause is a complete and independent clause and the second clause is giving more detail about the tricks which the person has mastered on.
“All Men Are Created Equal”. This was the embodiment of the Declaration of Independence that everyone is equal no matter who they are. Initially however, this was not true due to the fact that slavery was being practiced in the colonies so that means that not everyone was equal. It would take a long process before that was true.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
Like one great garden show'd,
And thro' the wreaths of floating dark upcurl'd,
Rare sunrise flow'd.
And Freedom rear'd in that august sunrise
Her beautiful bold brow,
When rites and forms before his burning eyes
Melted like snow.
There was no blood upon her maiden robes
Sunn'd by those orient skies;
But round about the circles of the globes
Of her keen eyes
And in her raiment's hem was traced in flame
WISDOM, a name to shake
All evil dreams of power--a sacred name.
And when she spake,
Her words did gather thunder as they ran,
And as the lightning to the thunder
Which follows it, riving the spirit of man,
Making earth wonder,
So was their meaning to her words.
No sword
Of wrath her right arm whirl'd,
But one poor poet's scroll, and with 'his' word
She shook the world.
The last lines of the poem suggest the richness of a poet's thoughts:
"Her words did gather thunder as they ran,
And as the lightning to the thunder
Which follows it, riving the spirit of man,
Making earth wonder,
So was their meaning to her words.
No sword
Of wrath her right arm whirl'd,
But one poor poet's scroll, and with 'his' word
She shook the world."
The word is considered a weapon on par with a sword; the poem is capable of shaking the world. The poet's words are like thunder and lighting, "riving the spirit of man". Their effect on both the world and the spirit is violent and physical; such words are not a passing wind but a mighty tempest.
