Highlight the word or phrase that should be italicized. If the sentence is correct, write C under it.

Question

1. Still, the book's portrayal of what the author called "old-fashioned family life on the banks of the floss" has given it lasting popularity.

2. Such a plot device, called a deus ex machina, Latin for "god from a machine," comes from a tradition in ancient Greek drama in which a god suddenly appears and solves all the characters' problems.

Answer 1

The first sentence looks correct. In the second sentence, "deus ex machina" should be italicized.

In writing, brief phrases in other languages should always be italicized. But if it's a full sentence in another language, you should just type it normally and use quotation marks.

Hope this helped.
