Select the three incorrectly used colons and semi-colons in the extract below. There are many different tours that offer a more interesting; and healthy; way of getting around: the Darwin 7- day dash: the Mawson Trail; and the Bondi bike ride are just three of our most popular options."

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

There are many different tours that offer a more interesting; and healthy; way of getting around: the Darwin 7- day dash: the Mawson Trail; and the Bondi bike ride are just three of our most popular options."

Explanation:

The above sentence is wrongly punctuated as it employs the colon and semicolon wrongly.

Colons(:) are used for various purposes like separating two independent clauses or to introduce a list or series of items while semicolon is employed to connect two independent clauses which convey complete thoughts together.

In the given sentence, semicolons are wrongly employed after 'interesting', 'healthy', and 'Mawson Trail' as it is separating the elements of the sentence which destroys the meaning of the sentence. The Colon is also used incorrectly after 'the Darwin 7-day dash' as it is introducing the list inappropriately.

In order to rectify these errors, the semicolons would be removed from the prior clause and in the latter clause, the incorrect colon and semicolon would be replaced with a comma(,) to separate the items of the list. After rectifying these errors, the sentence reads as:

There are many different tours that offer a more interesting and healthy way of getting around: the Darwin 7- day dash, the Mawson Trail, and the Bondi bike ride are just three of our most popular options."

What idea do the words little and serene suggest in this text

Answers

Hello. This question is incomplete. The complete question is:

With infinite complacency men went to and fro over this globe about their little affairs, serene in their assurance of their empire over matter.

What idea do the words little and serene suggest in this text?

The idea that humans crave challenges and activity

The idea that human size was insignificant to that of Martians

The idea that humans were insignificant and oblivious

The idea that humans were obsessed with small things

Answer:

The idea that humans were insignificant and oblivious

Explanation:

The words "little" and "serene" convey a sense of inferiority and lack of importance. They were used in the text to show that men and the actions provoked and carried out by them are unimportant, without depth. These men and their actions were insignificant and oblivious, they were so small that they did not cause any relevant circumstances and for that reason the men presented a serenity, since they knew that they were not provoking anything.

Hey,
Essay writing
two heads are than one​

Answers

Answer: "Two heads are better than one" because usually, two people have more possibilities to solve a problem that one person alone.Because of my experience I can say that there are a lot of situations in life in which you need help of other people, the help can be of any kind, for example you might need a person who help you to move to a new appartment, but other times you might need someone who gives you advice, in both cases, is better to have someone to help you.

Moreover, asking other person for help will give us a new approach to the situation and maybe we realize that the situation is not so bad as we thought it was. For example, if you have a problem with a friend and you are very angry, explaining your situation to another person could help you to chill out and think possible rational solutions, or maybe you discover that the problem was not so serious and you can forget the dispute.

In an academic or work situations I think it is also better to work in pairs or teams, because you can divide the work in parts and dont be stressed. For example, if you have a heavy subject in class and you think you are not going to pass the exam, you can ask some friends to summarize some of the units of the book and then, before the exam you all have all the summaries to study.

Finally, I think it is also good sharing our work and cooperate with other people, not only take advantage of them for our own benefit, but achive common goals.

In conclusion, I think there are so many reasons to prefer to work with other people that can be summarized in the idea that if we are selfishand unsupportive it is worse for us.

Choose to read either "The Man in the Arena" or "Address at Rice University on the Nation’s Space Effort." Then, type the title of the text you selected and write a brief explanation of the purpose for reading this text.

Answers

Answer:

"The Man in the Arena"

The title of the real speech was "Citizenship In A Republic."

Explanation:

"Citizenship In A Republic" was a speech presented by Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne, in Paris, France on April 23, 1910.

I decided to pick this text because of the title in this assignment.  "The Man in the Arena" as a title evokes some emotions.  Ordinarily, without reading the main speech, it shows that somebody is urging somebody to rise up to the occasion and remain faithful.  It looks as if Theodore Roosevelt was given a particular title topic to deliver his speech on.  But, he would have preferred an emotional title like "The Man in the Arena."

Going through his speech proper, you discover that he encouraged the men who were involved in building their French nation to continue to exert efforts, warning against benchwarming by those who comfortably sat on the fence.

Take a look at this. "The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."

Answer:

I chose to read “Address at Rice University on the Nation’s Space Effort” because I’m interested in knowing more about what motivated the United States to land on the moon.
