Answers

Answer 1
Answer: In a contraction, the apostrophe should always be placed "A. just before the last letter". This is the best way to combine two different words into one, such as "that's" (that is) and "what's" (what is). 
Answer 2
Answer:

The correct answer is D. where the missing letters would be

Explanation:

In the English language, a contraction is a shortened form of two words created by omitting certain letters of them and placing an apostrophe ('), which is a punctuation mark that shows letters in a word have been omitted. In the English language, contractions are common as these made language more concise and simple. However, contractions should be avoided in the case of formal speaking or writing. Examples of contractions include words such as "don't" which is created by combining the words "do" and "not" or "I've" created by combining "I" and "have". Considering the apostrophe is used to show one or more letters have been omitted in contractions, this punctuation mark should always be placed "where the missing letter would be", which means its location in contractions varies according to the letters that have been omitted.

Franny is writing a research paper on Edgar Allan Poe’s poem “The Raven.” She wants to include evidence for a point in her essay that she’s found in a secondary source, but she can’t decide whether to quote directly or paraphrase. Which statement best describes when Franny should quote a source directly?

Answers

I am not sure what the options are here, but you should quote a source directly when specific words are too important to rephrase. When what is in the secondary source is your primary evidence, you should also quote. In addition, when you want to show that you are not misinterpreting the work, you should use a direct quote. Hope this helps.

Which would be the best way of describing the structure of Thoreau’s observations in "Civil Disobedience"?

He views the State not as a massive machine of oppression but as something that is feminine in nature that people would feel sorry for.  It centers more on his view that the state is weak and corrupt.  It relies only on brute force but devoid of any justice and morals.

He moves from a consideration of his surroundings to an evaluation of the state as a whole.
