Beyond the Answer

Punctuation plays a crucial role in clarifying the meaning of sentences. In the example given, the proper placement of commas is key. Using option B correctly places a comma before "but," which is essential for separating independent clauses in a compound sentence. To make your writing smoother, consider reading sentences aloud. If you find yourself pausing or needing to take a breath at certain points, that’s a good indicator of where punctuation may be needed. It’s like giving your reader a little guide on how to navigate your thoughts!

To Stand or Not to Stand? In 2016 , Vallecito Elementary School in San Rafael, California, became the first U.S. school to replace all of its ordinary desks with raised desks that students stand at. Speaking to a reporter from TIME for Kids magazine, one student at the school gave the standing desks high praise. "You feel happier, you're less tired, and you're more active," she said. According to several studies, children working at standing desks burn more calories and are more focused on tasks. However, some teachers and parents are opposed to the change. They are concerned that standing for long periods of time could cause fatigue, strain on the legs and feet, or posture proliems. In addition, standing desks are more expensive than seated desks. Only time will tell whether standing desks will prove to be the next big trend or a failed experiment. What is the main, or central, idea of the passage? Some people say that standing desks promote good study habits, but others are wary about the new desks. Studies have shown that standing desks help students focus on their schoolwork while being more active. Wher

Read the passage. Student Designs Vietnam Veterans Memorial Maya Lin was an architecture student at Yale University when she completed a special class assignment-a monument to veterans of the Vietnam War. The assignment was inspired by the October 1980 announcement of a national design competition for such a memorial to be built in Washington, D.C. Lin's professor gave her design only a B but encouraged her to enter it into the competition. More than 1,400 entries were submitted and judged anonymously. Most of the other entrants were trained architects, whereas Lin hadn't yet completed her degree in architecture. Yet Lin's design took first place, earning her \( \$ 20,000 \) in prize money. She later wrote, "From the very beginning I often wondered, if it had not been an anonymous entry . . . but rather an entry by Maya Lin, would I have been selected?" What is the main, or central, idea of the passage? Maya Lin was just a student, but her design won a national competition for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Maya Lin's design won first prize in a competition and went on to become the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Maya Lin received a B for her design for a memorial to Vietnam veterans, but she was encouraged to enter it in a national competition.

When buildings collapse, it is extremely difficult to safely locate and rescue people trapped inside. Victims may be wedged into small spaces, and unstable rubble could collapse on rescue workers. An alternative to human rescue workers may be robotic cockroaches. Real cockroaches are protected by strong yet flexible exoskeletons. The can also flatten their bodies through tiny cracks. A robotics researcher from Harvard University and a biomechanics expert from the University of California, Berkeley, were inspired to create mini robots that have the same features. The roach robots can sque through small spaces and skitter over unstable environments. Fitted with cameras and microphones, they could be used in disasters to locate victims. What is the main, or central, idea of the passage? Cockroach-like robots can fit through small cracks and move through unstable rubble. Inspired by the strength and quickness of cockroaches, researchers created robots with the same characteristics. It is dangerous to search inside collapsed buildings, but cockroach-like robots can go places where human searchers can't or shouldn't.
