21

<p>^Yes it’s no comma.</p>

22

<p>what was the last question and answer to it</p>

23

<p>The last question, what she produced, instead was…</p>

<p>What was the correct placement?</p>

24

<p>^No comma.</p>

25

<p>

</p>

<p>Didn’t it go on to say “but not Shakespeare and women [did or didn’t do some darned other thing]…”? I put a common with it.</p>

26

<p>^Yes you can’t use a comma there because “but not Shakespeare” is a fragment.</p>

27

<p>What about the one that was giving the history of the name of the meteor storm? Was that irrelevant historical info or background information (or something)?</p>

28

<p>^The answer was that it gave important background information of why the Comet Something-Something’s was called the Perseid.</p>

29

<p>^ Cool that’s what I got.</p>

30

<p>@ ACTTester, i put choice D for that one…which was something like “an explanation for the name of the meteor shower”. i was considering putting choice A, which said it was irrelevant historical info, but i didn’t because it wasn’t historical info. factual but not historical i don’t think.</p>

31

<p>^it was neither historical nor irrelevant.
I know I answered “yes”… I’m not sure why</p>

32

<p>Makes vs Made or whatever?</p>

33

<p>Rupert, it was made. I remember reading in past tense throughout a passage.</p>

34

<p>did you guys delete the
“it was rice growing season.” ???</p>

35

<p>^ No, most of us left it where it was.</p>

36

<p>No I kept the rice growing season</p>

37

<p>THE 1st QUESTION: which would NOT be excepted? Renown or reward?</p>

<p>another question was about houdini. It at the end. it was like something something; it also made him a legend or something. Did you keep it the same or change it to “; which it”
sorry im vague</p>

38

<p>reward^</p>

<p>and does anybody remember the one with his name became harry or something. I put no commas.</p>

39

<p>Reward does not work, so that’s what I put.</p>

<p>And I did not make any change to that last sentence. You dont use need “which” for semicolons</p>

40

<p>@jetsfan, i’m pretty sure i kept it the same cuz it had a semi-colon and then an independent clause, which is correct.</p>
