  • 2. 

    The two kind of sentences are simple and...

    • Plural

    • Number

    • Compound

    • Negative

    Correct Answer
    A. Compound
    Explanation
    Compound sentences are formed by joining two or more independent clauses using coordinating conjunctions like "and," "but," or "or." These sentences allow for the expression of more complex ideas and relationships between different thoughts or concepts. In contrast, simple sentences contain only one independent clause and express a single idea. Therefore, the correct answer is compound, as it refers to the type of sentence that combines multiple independent clauses.

    • Compound

    • Fragment

    • Negative

    • Plural

    Correct Answer
    A. Fragment
    Explanation
    A group of words without a subject or verb is called a fragment. A fragment is an incomplete sentence that does not express a complete thought. It may lack a subject, a verb, or both. Fragments can be confusing and do not form a complete idea on their own. They often need to be combined with other sentences or revised to create grammatically correct and meaningful sentences.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Which kind of verbs end in "es" or "s?"

    • Thought

    • Compound

    • Negative

    • Singular

    Correct Answer
    A. Singular
    Explanation
    Verbs that end in "es" or "s" are singular verbs. Singular verbs are used when the subject of a sentence is singular, meaning it refers to only one person, thing, or idea. These verbs indicate that the action is being performed by a single subject. Examples of singular verbs include "runs," "eats," and "thinks."

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    How many parts does a basic sentence have?

    • One

    • Two

    • Three

    • Four

    Correct Answer
    A. Two
    Explanation
    A basic sentence typically consists of two main parts: the subject and the predicate. The subject is the noun or pronoun that performs the action or is being described, while the predicate includes the verb and other words that provide information about the subject. These two parts work together to form a complete sentence that expresses a complete thought. Therefore, the correct answer is two.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    We never use two _______ words in the same sentence.

    • Singular

    • Negative

    • Compound

    • Fragment

    Correct Answer
    A. Negative
    Explanation
    In this question, the correct answer is "negative". The sentence is stating that we never use two negative words in the same sentence. This means that if one word in a sentence is negative, we should avoid using another negative word in that same sentence. Using two negative words can create confusion and make the sentence difficult to understand.

  • 7. 

    The subject and the verb must agree in...

    • Fragment

    • Number

    • Color

    • Gender

    Correct Answer
    A. Number
    Explanation
    The subject and the verb must agree in number. This means that if the subject is singular, the verb should also be singular, and if the subject is plural, the verb should also be plural. This agreement ensures that the sentence is grammatically correct and makes sense to the reader.

    The given question is asking about the number of jobs that sentences can do. The answer states that sentences can do four jobs. This implies that sentences have the ability to perform multiple tasks or functions, indicating their versatility and usefulness in various contexts.

The phrase "Obey them that rule over you" emphasizes the importance of following the guidance and leadership of those in positions of authority. By submitting ourselves to their authority, we show respect and honor to those who watch over our spiritual well-being.
