You got 10 correct out of 10. :D 1. All the stores closed early it was Christmas This sentence is correct. This sentence is incorrect. It is a run-on sentence. This sentence is incorrect. It is a comma splice. This sentence needs to be separated after the word "early", or should be constructed differently. 2. Since it's a new year, I'm going to exercise more! This sentence is correct. This is a run-on sentence. This is a comma splice. This is a correct, complex sentence. The dependent clause is first: "Since it's a new year,". The independent clause is next: "I'm going to exercise more!". They are also punctuated correctly, with a comma after the dependent clause. 3. The results are in. Daniel passed his driving test! These two sentences are correct. These two sentences are incorrect. 4. It's getting dark; let's head back to the campsite. This sentence is correct. This is a run-on sentence. This is a comma splice. The two parts of this sentence are correctly separated by a semi-colon. 5. Although it's raining, we're going for a walk. This sentence is correct. This is a run-on sentence. This is a comma splice. The subordinating conjunction, "although", helps to form a correct complex sentence. 6. He's working late he's leaving tomorrow. This sentence is correct. This is a run-on sentence. This is a comma splice. We need some punctuation after the word "late", or else the sentence needs to be constructed differently. 7. They moved, I need their new address. This sentence is correct. This is a comma splice. This is a run-on sentence. These sentences need to be separated correctly after the word "moved", or else the information needs to be constructed differently. 8. I like pizza, but I don't want any right now. This sentence is correct. This is a run-on sentence. This is a comma splice. This compound sentence is joined correctly with the coordinating conjunction, "but". 9. The parking lot was full; We couldn't find a spot. This sentence is correct. This sentence is incorrect. This sentence looks correct, but is actually incorrect, because of a capitalization error. The word "we" should not be capitalized. In general, the word that follows a semi-colon should not be capitalized. The correct version of this sentence would be: "The parking lot was full; we couldn't find a spot." 10. When I get home, I'm going to take a shower. This sentence is correct. This sentence is incorrect. Using the subordinating conjunction "when" makes this sentence correct.

Zur Rezeption von Franz Kafka und Samuel Beckett in Rumänien

Receptarea lui Franz Kafka şi a lui Samuel Beckett în România Abstract Teoria receptării a înregistrat în ultimii ani o dezvoltare impresionantă, astfel încăt s-au putut trasa linii generale de descriere a unei direcţii de receptare în conformitate cu anumite tipologii estetice care marchează receptarea literară la nivel de receptor cult şi instruit. Acestea sunt premisele principale de la care porneşte cercetătorul în căutarea sa de modele şi modalităţi literare de receptare. S-a vorbit astfel de patologii de receptare, de estetica personajului şi nu în ultimul rănd de o receptare critică a operei literare. Sarcina cu care se confruntă cercetătorul în demersul său este de a descoperi în ce măsură opera examinată capătă caracter normativ la nivelul unui grup de receptori care aderă la stilul, forma şi limbajul literar al autorului receptat.

you still can't find work---OMG

Mozart most commonly called himself Wolfgang Amadé or Wolfgang Gottlieb. His father, Leopold, came from a family of good standing (from which he was estranged), which included architects and bookbinders. Leopold was the author of a famous violin-playing manual, which was published in the very year of Mozart’s birth. His mother, Anna Maria Pertl, was born of a middle-class family active in local administration. Mozart and his sister Maria Anna (“Nannerl”) were the only two of their seven children to survive.
