Should there be a comma before the highlighted word? Nemo couldn't decide if he wanted the root beer float, or the banana cream pie. Keep the Comma Remove the Comma
Answer:
Remove the comma.
Explanation:
One of the functions of a comma in a sentence is to indicate a pause, before continuation.
From the sentence, "Nemo couldn't decide if he wanted the root beer float, or the banana cream pie." we can see that the sentence is one that doesn't need a pause after the word "float" to continue from "or the banana".
A comma would have been necessary in this sentence if it contained more than two lists.
For example,
Nemo couldn't decide if he wanted the root beer float, the apple or the banana cream pie.
Now that we have more than two lists in the sentence, a comma is necessary to separate the lists.
Answer:
Remove the comma

This is done to explain the effects and actions of these entities in an engaging and understandable way.

Explanation:
(HELP I CAN'T FIND AN ANSWER) Neither spoke, but lay silently listening to the ticking of the clock. A stair creaked, and a squeaky mouse scurried noisily through the wall. The darkness was oppressive, and after lying for some time screwing up his courage, he took the box of matches, and striking one, went downstairs for a candle.
At the foot of the stairs the match went out, and he paused to strike another; and at the same moment a knock, so quiet and stealthy as to be scarcely audible, sounded on the front door.
The matches fell from his hand and spilled in the passage. He stood motionless, his breath suspended until the knock was repeated. Then he turned and fled swiftly back to his room, and closed the door behind him. A third knock sounded through the house.

Final answer:
The summary portrays scenes of caregiving and compassion from various texts, where characters nurture others back to health or provide comfort.

"Hanna and Ai-Lin had to wait in line for three hours to buy concert tickets. Then, they had to park a mile away and wait for forty five minutes to get into the stadium. Over one thousand people attended the concert!"
To correct the punctuation error in the passage, the writer should hyphenate ______.
forty-five is what should be hyphenated
The passage contains a punctuation error with the term 'forty five minutes', which should be hyphenated to 'forty-five minutes'.
To correct the punctuation error in the passage, the writer should hyphenate forty-five minutes. Numbers less than one hundred should be hyphenated when they consist of two words. So 'forty five' should be 'forty-five' to be grammatically correct.

The character of Brutus is often thought of the tragic hero of the play. Marcus Brutus was the leader of the assassins that killed Caesar. He also led the opposing forces against Mark Antony in the civil war that followed the assassination.
Expalin
Answer:
Yes, he is a tragic hero in the sense that, the opposing views he tends to upholds drives him to commit most the actions he did, most expecially with the assassination of Caesar.
As someone, who was raised as a stoic, he never followed the teachings but rather was skirming on how to make rome better. His outrage on learning that Caesar has decalared himself as perpetual dictator and to be made a god (Deified) was what actually drove him to plan the assassniation of Caesar. Rather than be praised for killing the man that refused to follow the laid down plan for Rome, his people became enraged with the whole thing leading to him being driven out of Rome.
This action forced him to go to Greece, acquire wealth and launch a war against Rome (ruled by Mark Anthony) inorder to recover it and rule it according to his percieved rules. He died by killing himself after loosing the war to Mark Anthony even though he was later given an honourable burial by Mark Anthony.
