3. Combine the following sentence using a relative clause. Jack has two dogs. Jack lives next door. (Clue! You only know one man named Jack.)

Explanation

The sentence combines the two pieces of information given about Jack. It uses a relative clause ("who has two dogs") to provide additional information about Jack, specifically that he has two dogs. The relative clause is set off by commas and is placed after the noun it modifies, "Jack." The sentence then continues with the main clause, "lives next door," to complete the combined sentence.

6. Match the type of adjective to its corresponding examples.Opinion

Explanation

These words (beautiful, boring, stupid, delicious, useful, lovely, comfortable) are examples of opinion adjectives. Opinion adjectives express the speaker's or writer's personal opinion or judgment about something or someone. They describe the subjective qualities or characteristics of a noun.

Submit
7. Match the type of adjective to its corresponding examples.Purpose

Explanation

The correct answer is "sleeping (bag), gardening (gloves), shopping (bag), wedding (dress)". These examples are all purpose adjectives because they describe the intended use or function of the noun they modify. In this case, the adjectives are used to describe the specific type of bag or gloves that are used for sleeping, gardening, shopping, and a wedding dress.

Submit
8. We always use commas in restrictive relative clauses.

Explanation

This statement is false. We do not use commas in restrictive relative clauses. Restrictive relative clauses provide essential information about the noun they modify and are not set off by commas.

Submit
9. Match the type of adjective to its corresponding examples.Condition

Explanation

The given examples fall under the category of descriptive adjectives. Descriptive adjectives provide more information about the noun they modify by describing its qualities or characteristics. In this case, the examples such as broken, cold, hot, wet, hungry, rich, easy, difficult, and dirty describe the condition or state of the nouns they modify.

Submit
10. Which of these adjectives is a determiner? 

Explanation

Their is a determiner because it is used to indicate possession or ownership. It is used before a noun to show that something belongs to or is associated with a group of people or things previously mentioned or easily identified. In this case, "their" is used to show possession or ownership by a group of people.

Submit

Explanation

A determiner is a word that is used before a noun to indicate quantity, possession, or specificity. Articles (such as "a," "an," and "the") and numbers (such as "one," "two," and "three") are both examples of determiners. Therefore, the statement that a determiner can be an article or a number is true.

Submit
12. Which relative clause sentence best matches the two independent clauses below?I love water parks. I always have so much fun there.

Explanation

The correct answer is "I love water parks where I always have so much fun." This sentence correctly combines the two independent clauses by using the relative pronoun "where" to connect the idea of having fun at water parks. The use of "where" indicates a location and shows the relationship between the two clauses. The other options either have incorrect word choices or unnecessary repetition of words.

Submit
13. Which relative clause sentence best matches the two independent clauses below?Peter's grandmother fell last week. She's lucky she didn't break her hip.

Explanation

The correct answer is "Peter's grandmother, who fell last week, is lucky she didn't break her hip." This sentence best matches the two independent clauses because it provides additional information about Peter's grandmother falling last week and emphasizes her luck in not breaking her hip.

Submit
14. Adjectives of origin come after adjectives of material.

Explanation

This statement is false. Adjectives of origin actually come before adjectives of material. For example, we say "a wooden table" (material adjective comes after origin adjective) and not "a table wooden."

Submit
