TLDR: The common noun is "sandwich".

A common noun is a person, place, or thing that isn't being described specifically. A proper noun is a person, place, or thing that is being described specifically. For example:

A house (CN), versus The White House (PN)

A Meatball Marinara (PN) versus a footlong sub (CN)

New York City (PN) versus The Big Apple (PN) versus a city (CN)

Proper nouns can typically be identified by being capitalized, however this may not always be the case! However, in this example, it is.

Start by looking for nouns - this sentence contains two, Carlene and sandwich. A sandwich is a common noun because it is generic, whereas Carlene is being specific - we're talking about a particular girl who happens to like sandwiches. Therefore, "sandwich" was the common noun in this sentence.

Hope this helps!

Which sentence describes a key difference in the way that the novel The War of the Worlds was written and the way the radio broa

slamgirl [31]

Answer: B.The novel was written in past tense, and the radio broadcast was presented in present tense.

<em>The War of the Worlds</em> is a novel by H. G. Wells, first published in 1897 by Pearson's Magazine. It tells the story of the conflict between humans and a race of aliens. The novel uses the past tense.

On the other hand, the transcript of the radio broadcast uses the present tense. This is one of the reasons why the broadcast is so famous nowadays. An "urban myth" (as its veracity is disputed) says that when the broadcast aired on October 30, 1938 over the Columbia Broadcasting System radio network, it caused panic among the listening audience, who thought the alien invasion was a piece of news.
