Submit

41. A pronoun is a specific place,thing or idea.

Explanation

A pronoun is a word that is used to replace a noun in a sentence. It can refer to a specific place, thing, or idea that has already been mentioned or is understood in the context. For example, in the sentence "She is going to the store," the pronoun "she" is used to replace a specific person who has been previously mentioned or is known in the context. Therefore, the statement that a pronoun is a specific place, thing, or idea is true.

Submit

Submit
47. Mr.Rice is the {taller, tallest} of the two men.

Explanation

In this sentence, we are comparing the heights of two men, Mr. Rice and another unidentified person. The word "taller" is the correct answer because it indicates that Mr. Rice is taller than the other man, but it does not specify if he is the tallest overall. The word "tallest" would imply that Mr. Rice is the tallest person in general, not just taller than the other man. Therefore, "taller" is the appropriate choice to convey the comparison between the two men's heights.

Submit
48. The chalkboard was erased the erasers were cleaned.

Explanation

The given sentence is a run-on because it combines two independent clauses without proper punctuation or conjunction to separate them. The phrase "The chalkboard was erased" and "the erasers were cleaned" are both complete thoughts that can stand alone as separate sentences. To fix the run-on, the sentence could be separated into two sentences or joined with a coordinating conjunction or appropriate punctuation.
