Read the following sentence. Then, answer the question. Beatrice was unable to concentrate on her project because her brother's stereo was turned up to full volume.
Which statement is correct?

The dependent clause follows the independent clause in this sentence, so no comma is needed.

Explanation:

When a dependent clause follows an independent clause, there is not need to include a comma as opposed to when the dependent clause is before the independent clause.

In this case the dependent clause being "because her brother’s stereo was turned up to full volume", follows after the independent clause which is, "Beatrice was unable to concentrate on her project". There is therefore no need to put a comma.

the answer is, a) she is angry with elnora for not standing up for herself.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
