Answer 1

What is the purpose of the dashes in this excerpt from “Totally like whatever, you know?”

“Declarative sentences--- so-called
because they used to, like, DECLARE things to be true, okay,
as opposed to other things are, like, totally, you know, not---
have been infected by a totally hip
and tragically cool interrogative tone?”

a. to maintain the normal flow of ideas.
b. to support the author’s purpose of maintaining normal flow of ideas.
c. > to disrupt the normal flow of ideas. <
d. to explain the normal flow of ideas.
