In formal emails, 'Good Morning' or 'Good Afternoon' should be used with both words capitalized. 'To Whom It May Concern' is the correct capitalization for that salutation. A formal closing should be included with only the first word capitalized.
When crafting a formal email, it is proper to use capitalization correctly to convey a professional tone. You should start your email with a proper salutation, such as "Good Morning" or "Good Afternoon" where 'Good' is always capitalized and 'Morning' or 'Afternoon' is capitalized as well since these greetings are often considered standard salutations where each word is typically capitalized. In the case of the phrase "To Whom it May Concern," the convention is to capitalize the first letter of each word except for 'it,' making the correct format "To Whom It May Concern." This is a formal salutation used when you do not know the specific name of the person you are addressing. Always remember to include a formal closing with only the first word capitalized, such as 'Thanks,' or 'Regards,' followed by your name. This demonstrates professionalism and attention to detail.

i have an awful time trying to understand poems and stories before the 1900's, so i need assistance understanding one of the possible answers in this question i was given.
"Which trait is common to the narrators in these excerpts?"
The first story that is given is called "Captain Singleton" By Daniel Dafoe
"At this juncture comes by one of those sort of people who, it seems, made it their business to spirit away little children. This was a hellish trade in those days, and chiefly practised where they found little children very well dressed, or for bigger children, to sell them to the plantations.
The woman, pretending to take me up in her arms and kiss me, and play with me, draws the girl a good way from the house, till at last she makes a fine story to the girl, and bids her go back to the maid, and tell her where she was with the child; that a gentlewoman had taken a fancy to the child, and was kissing of it, but she should not be frighted, or to that purpose; for they were but just there; and so, while the girl went, she carries me quite away."
The second story is called "Moll Flanders", also by Daniel Dafoe
"However it was, this they all agree in, that my mother pleaded her belly, and being found quick with child, she was respited for about seven months; in which time having brought me into the world, and being about again, she was called down, as they term it, to her former judgment, but obtained the favour of being transported to the plantations, and left me about half a year old; and in bad hands, you may be sure.
This is too near the first hours of my life for me to relate anything of myself but by hearsay; it is enough to mention, that as I was born in such an unhappy place, I had no parish to have recourse to for my nourishment in my infancy; nor can I give the least account how I was kept alive, other than that, as I have been told, some relation of my mother's took me away for a while as a nurse, but at whose expense, or by whose direction, I know nothing at all of it."
Now, i can't find which of these answers would best fit the question, because i get so easily lost in the writing style.
Available Answers (They allow me to only pick one by the way.):
-The narrators were born in poverty.
-The narrators were separated from their birth parents.
-The narrators grew up to be criminals.
-The narrators worked hard in life to improve their social status.
-The narrators blamed themselves for their misfortunes.

Excerpt from: Stranded
Tracy Wilson
I think I have almost learned to track the time by the rays of the sun. Time, like water, seems to sit in a pot unable to boil if your eye isn’t constantly on it. Time seems to be the only thing that man hasn’t learned to control, but I am sure some genius, like Fred Johnson, is currently working on it while sitting in a cubicle checking the four thousand emails on his Palm Pilot. As for me, I think I will lean back on this dune and nap a while before I head out to catch some lunch.
The word "genius" used in the sentence in this context most likely means
A) someone who arrogantly believes he is smart
B) a guardian spirit of a place or institution.
C) a boring, dull fellow with little imagination.
D) an exceptional natural capacity or talent for something.
C) a boring, dull fellow with little imagination.

Answer:
c: In 1906, President Theodore Roosevelt named Devils Tower in Wyoming the first national monument.
Explanation:
Final answer:
The title 'President' should be capitalized when directly before a name, 'Devils Tower' is a proper noun and should be capitalized, and 'national monument' should not be capitalized as it is a common noun.
Explanation:
The correct capitalization for the title in the sentence should be: 'In 1906, President Theodore Roosevelt named Devils Tower in Wyoming the first national monument.'
Titles such as 'President' when used directly before the name of a president, are capitalized. Additionally, the names of specific places such as 'Devils Tower' are considered proper nouns and should be capitalized. However, the term 'national monument' is not capitalized unless it is part of a specific name or at the start of a sentence.

Explanation:
As the story opens, Chiu and his new lady of the hour are eating on the most recent day of their special first night in the city of Muji, China. Chiu is anticipating coming back to his activity in Harbin, particularly on the grounds that he is stressed over having a relapse of hepatitis, an infection that left him crippled a while before. As he and his lady of the hour complete their lunch, a cop at a close-by table hurls tea on the couple. Chiu discovers this activity peculiar and lodges a grievance.

That twenty centuries of stony sleep Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle, And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born? In the excerpt above, “twenty centuries” is a reference to _____. the fall of the Roman Empire Christianity feudalism the British Empire
Answer:
ChristianityExplanation:
The author portrays a nightmarish scene: the bird of prey, turning in a broadening "gyre" (winding), can't hear the falconer; "Things go into disrepair; the inside can't hold"; turmoil is loosed upon the world; "The blood-darkened tide is loosed, and wherever/The service of honesty is suffocated." The best individuals, the speaker says, do not have all conviction, yet the most noticeably bad "are loaded with enthusiastic power."
Without a doubt, the speaker affirms, the world is close to a disclosure; "Most likely the Second Coming is within reach." No sooner does he think about "the Second Coming," at that point he is harried by "a huge picture of the Spiritus Mundi, or the aggregate soul of humanity: some place in the desert, a monster sphinx ("A shape with lion body and the leader of a man,/A look as clear and barbarous as the sun") is moving, while the shadows of desert winged animals reel about it. The obscurity drops again over the speaker's sight, yet he knows that the sphinx’s twenty centuries of “stony sleep” have been made a nightmare by the motions of “a rocking cradle.” And what “rough beast,” he wonders, “its hour come round at last, / Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?”

They leaped like deer on the moon
How does this simile serve as an element of foreshadowing?
The simile 'They leaped like deer on the moon' serves as an element of foreshadowing by potentially indicating a future sense of freedom, lightness, or drastic change in the characters' circumstances or environment. The precise way it serves as foreshadowing, however, would depend on the context within the broader narrative.
Explanation:The statement 'They leaped like deer on the moon' is a powerful simile that represents foreshadowing in literature. In literary terms, foreshadowing is a way of indicating or hinting at what will come later. When the author compares the leaping individuals to 'deer on the moon', this could be a metaphorical representation of what might happen in the future in the story; perhaps with the characters experiencing a sense of freedom or lightness, similar to what one might physically experience on the moon, due to its low gravity. Alternatively, it could foretell a drastic change in the characters' environment or circumstances, much as a deer would experience a drastic change if suddenly transported to the moon. Without more context, however, the precise significance of this simile as a foreshadowing element can't be determined.

Which of the following sentences is correct? A. A phrase has a subject and verb, but a clause does not B. a phrase is a group of related words, but a clause is not C. A clause has a subject and verb, but a phrase does not D. A clause is a group of related words, but a phrase is not
Answer:
C. A clause has a subject and a verb, but a phrase does not.
In Grammar, a clause is a set of words (that are related to each other) that contains a subject and its corresponding verb. A clause by itself is a group of words, that express a complete idea. Clauses usually are short, simple sentences. Whereas a phrase doesn't have both a subject and a verb. Hence, clauses are a group of words, that could state ideas independently, as separate sentences having a subject and predicate.
