This sentence deals asks you about an appositive phrase - a phrase that redefines or gives more information about about a noun in a sentence.

In this sentence, "poets" is the noun, and the names of the poets - "Percy Bysshe Shelley, Lord Byron, and John Keats" made up the appositive phrase.

Appositive phrases need additional punctuation in the sentence, to set them apart from the rest of the sentence. You can generally use sets of commas or dashes, or other types of punctuation, such as a colon, to set the phrase apart. In this question, you are being asked to use dashes specifically.

With all of the above information in mind, now that you know 1) what an appositive is and 2) how an appositive phrase can be punctuated, we can conclude that your sentence should look like this:

The Romantic poets - Percy Bysshe Shelley, Lord Byron, and John Keats -influenced Rachel's poem for class.

So, the correct answer would be C. - the dashes should go before "Percy" and after "Keats."

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.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)
