where should commas be added in the following sentences 1.Combine flour shortening pecans and cold water to make a tasty pie crust A. after the words "flour and Shortening"B.after the words "flour," "shortening" and "pecans"C.No commas added
The correct option is letter "A": commas should be added after the words "flour and Shortening".
Combine flour, shortening, pecans and cold water to make a tasty pie crust.
We use commas to separate and enumerate elements in a serie of three or more items. However, it is unnecessary to use a comma before "and".
Option "B" may be justified by those people who prefer using a comma before the last item in a list. This is known as the Oxford Comma or Serial Comma in a written style. But, this is more frequent in American English rather than in British English.

Identify the stage directions in this excerpt from Trifles by Susan Glaspell.
MRS PETERS: I don't know, unless it got sick and died.
(She reaches over and swings the broken door, swings it again, both women watch it.)
MRS HALE: You weren't raised round here, were you? (MRS PETERS shakes her head) You didn't know—her?
MRS PETERS: Not till they brought her yesterday.
The answers are "She reaches over and swings the broken door, swings it again, both women watch it" and "MRS PETERS shakes her head"
Explanation:
In a play or script, the stage directions refer to information that describes the scenery, the movement of characters, their actions, expressions and similar. These directions are often placed in commas or similar symbols and are not part of dialogues.
In the case of the excerpt from the play Trifles, the stage directions are "She reaches over and swings the broken door, swings it again, both women watch it" and "MRS PETERS shakes her head" because these sections do not belong to the dialogues but only describes the actions of a character; also, these are separated from the dialogues using parentheses.

Read these sentences from “Araby,” about the boy's train trip to the bazaar.
Joyce alludes to the fact that the trip is more than a typical journey.
At Westland Row Station a crowd of people pressed to the carriage doors; but the porters moved them back, saying that it was a special train for the bazaar. I remained alone in the bare carriage. In a few minutes the train drew up beside an improvised wooden platform. I passed out on to the road and saw by the lighted dial of a clock that it was ten minutes to ten. How does this allusion affect the meaning of the passage?
a. It shows the boy's joy at being on a noble quest at this time in his life.
b. It hints at the rags to riches blueprint of the boy's stark life.
c. It represents the boy's passage from innocence to insight.
d. It explains the boy's belief that he deserves the girl's affection.
Answer:
Option c. The allusion affects the meaning of the passage as it represents the boy's passage from innocence to insight.
Explanation:
"Araby" is a short-story written by author James Joyce and first published 1914 It tells the story of a young boy who falls in love with his neighbor's sister and decides to take a trip to a bazaar market in order to buy a gift for her. In the passage shown in the question Joyce not only is describing the train trip the boy takes in order to get to the Bazaar, but he is also writing an allusion in order to represent the boy's passage from innocence to insight. The train trip and the boy passing out on the road and waking up in a different setting is making an allusion to the biggest message that the plot has; the loss of innocence. By embarking in the trip, the boy will discover that as the bazaar has not met his expectations, the girl he thinks he loves and so desperately wants to impress will probably do the same. The passage from the question illustrates the shift in the boy's character.
Roberta's science class is going on a field trip, and her teacher asks students to make suggestions about where they should go. Roberta decides to write a letter to her class explaining why they should go to the planetarium. Roberta decided to begin her letter with this sentence: The planetarium is not crowded on Wednesdays, so we should visit it then. Is this sentence an appropriate opening sentence for the persuasive purpose? A) yes, because it does not give students any other options B) no, because some students may want to go on a different day C) no, because it gives no details to make the students want to go D) yes, because it tells students a specific day they can go on the trip
Answer:
C) no, because it gives no details to make the students want to go
Explanation:
This sentece would be appropiate if they had already decided to go to the planetarium and are deciding which day should they go, but as she is trying to convince them to go, this is not the correct way to start, because she is not giving any reason to go, other than the fact that it isn´t crowded, she should tell the class why she thinks they can learn and have fun by going to the planetarium instead of to the museum or other places.
help write a short message from a character in hades to a character in the odyssey book 11
Final answer:
A character from Hades in Greek mythology reminisces on the Trojan War, acknowledges Odysseus's ongoing struggle and arete, and sends words of caution and encouragement as he continues his journey in The Odyssey.
Explanation:
From the shores of the River Styx within the dismal realm of Hades, to the shining hero still journeying the wine-dark sea, I send these words. O Odysseus, man of many wiles and favored of Athena, your tale has yet to reach its end, while mine lies completed, a tapestry of life and death unspooled. I have heard of your quest from Hermes, the messenger god, who frequents both our worlds. In the shadow of death, we shades watch and wonder at your tenacity and trials.
Our fates, though interwoven by the loom of the gods, are as divergent as the paths of the sun and moon. We survivors of the Trojan War, now mere whispers in the winds of the underworld, have but memories of our earthly deeds - some bitter, some sweet. As you navigate the treacherous waters home to Ithaca, remember us not with sorrow, but as a harbinger of caution and a testament to arete – that virtue for which we strove and suffered so greatly.
Zeus may be all-seeing, but it is we who watch your journey, bound by the chains of death yet rooting for your success. Bonfires might burn for us no more, but may they light your way home. May you, unlike us, embrace your loved ones once more, and may you recount these tales, that even in death, we might be granted a form of immortality.
Give heed to this message, Odysseus, and may the gods look upon you with favor. Persevere as you have, and may your homecoming be sweet. As for me, a shade amongst many, I shall dissolve into the nothingness of Hades, patiently awaiting the day when a bard might sing also of my lesser deeds.

Read this student essay written about Greek mythology.
1. Asclepius, the Greek god of medicine, was responsible for healing in ancient mythology. 2. His daughter, Hygieia, was the goddess of health and cleanliness. 3. Tradition states that Asclepius angered Hades, god of the underworld, by saving others from death. 4. Hades asked Zeus to use his mighty lightning bolt to stop Asclepius.
Where should the quotation below be placed to further develop the paragraph?
A noted expert has written, “Health and hygiene are still represented today by the rod of Asclepius, a snake-entwined staff” (Atkin 286).
before sentence 1
before sentence 2
before sentence 3
before sentence 4
The correct answer is that the quotation below should be placed before sentence 3. This would make the quotation go right after sentence 1 and 2 which talks about the Greek God Asclepius and how he was considered the god of medicine and how her daughter was considered the goddess of health. Therefore, the quotation helps to develop further this characterization of Asclepius by mentioning how he is still a symbol of today's medicine.

Which characteristics of an epic hero does Odysseus demonstrate by coming up with his plan for listening to the Siren song? Check all that apply.
A) He is a strong warrior and courageous leader.
B)He is a compelling and confident speaker.
C)He takes a long journey.
D)He has a group of followers.
E)He engages in combat on his own.
Several options apply:
A) He is a strong warrior and courageous leader. Odysseus never explicitly said his men was the reason for wanting to hear the sirens' song. However, since no one had ever heard the sirens before and lived to tell the tale of it, it could be inferred that the idea of doing something that no one else had ever done is likely very appealing to him.
C) He takes a long journey. His journey from Circe's island of Aeaea, where one of the main obstacles are the Sirens.
D) He has a group of followers. Along with whom he survived the sirens, as well as Scylla and Charibdys.
E) He engages in combat on his own. Odysseus ordered his men to seal their ears with wax, in order to protect them from the sirens' singing. In this way, Odysseous alone was the only one who hear the sirens' song.
politeness Is a half good manners and half good lying comment
The concept of politeness being half good manners and half good lying reflects the idea that social norms often encourage a blend of honesty and tactful dishonesty. The level of sincerity in politeness can vary depending on context, from storytelling to everyday pleasantries.
Explanation:The statement 'politeness is half good manners and half good lying' seems to suggest that genuine politeness often involves a blend of earnest courteous behavior and sometimes less-than-sincere flattery or socially acceptable falsehoods. This touches upon the idea that social norms often dictate a certain level of inauthenticity or 'white lies' to maintain harmony and avoid causing offense. Such a concept is reflected throughout various forms of social interaction, whether it's a casual greeting like 'How are you?' to which society expects a generic 'Fine, thanks,' regardless of truth, or the more deliberate avoidance of unpleasant truths to spare someone's feelings.
For instance, telling a story with embellishments might be seen as a form of storytelling, which can be a valued social skill rather than an outright deception. Similarly, the context in which statements are made is important, as lies or exaggerations in a humorous anecdote can be more acceptable than in serious discourse. Lisa Bloom's mention of pleasantries exchanged with little girls aligns with this concept, as these are often more reflexive and less about truth.
In ''the gift of magi'' how did Della's choices and interactions with others develop the plot?
Make sure you use specific examples from the story when answering the question!
Della's decision to sell her hair to buy a gift for Jim and their subsequent exchange of gifts are key to the development of the plot in 'The Gift of the Magi'. Their sacrifices reveal the theme of selfless love and propel the story towards its ironic climax.
Explanation:In The Gift of the Magi, Della's choices and interactions are central to the development of the plot. The story is structured around Della's decision to sell her most prized possession, her long, beautiful hair, to buy a platinum fob chain for her husband Jim's watch, considering it a perfect gift. This act of self-sacrifice for the sake of love sets the stage for the story's ironic climax.
The plot thickens when Jim comes home to see Della's shorn hair and reveals that he has sold his watch to buy her a set of combs for her hair. This mutual sacrifice, where both characters have given up their dearest possessions to buy gifts for each other, creates a poignant twist and brings the central theme of the story to a climax. The interactions between Della and Jim reveal their deep love for each other and mirror the theme of selfless giving, enhancing the emotional impact of the story.
Characterization is employed by O. Henry through Della's actions and her interaction with the hairdresser, where her determination and sense of sacrifice are further highlighted. Additionally, the setting intensifies the tension, particularly due to the couple's economic hardship, making their sacrifices even more profound.
