Explanation

The correct answer is "Given the hard choices our coach has had to make this year, it's no wonder she's decided to retire." because it includes the necessary comma after the introductory phrase "Given the hard choices our coach has had to make this year".

This sentence is correctly written because it follows the subject-verb-object structure, with "The children" as the subject, "were delighted" as the verb phrase, and "by the monkeys swinging wildly through the trees" as the object. The participial phrase "swinging wildly through the trees" is correctly placed after the noun it modifies, "monkeys."

26. Zipping around the park in her little sportster, Juditha began to feel, at last, like a millionaire.

Explanation

The correct answer is that the independent clause begins with "Juditha." This is because an independent clause is a group of words that can stand alone as a complete sentence and express a complete thought. In this sentence, "Juditha began to feel, at last, like a millionaire" is the independent clause as it contains a subject (Juditha) and a verb (began to feel) and expresses a complete thought. The phrase "Zipping around the park in her little sportster" is a participial phrase that provides additional information about Juditha but does not form a complete sentence on its own.

Explanation

not-available-via-ai

Submit
44. Heitor signed the contract but never agreed to purchase the CDs.

Explanation

The correct answer is that the entire sentence is one independent clause. This is because the sentence contains a subject ("Heitor") and a predicate ("signed the contract but never agreed to purchase the CDs") and expresses a complete thought on its own. The underlined part is not a complete independent clause on its own as it lacks a subject.

Submit
45. No one on this bus seems to know ______ way around this part of New York City.

Explanation

The correct answer is "his or her" because it is a gender-neutral pronoun that can be used to refer to both males and females. In this context, it implies that no one on the bus knows the way around the part of New York City they are in, regardless of their gender. Using "their" would suggest that multiple people on the bus do not know the way, while using "his" would imply that only males on the bus are unfamiliar with the area. Therefore, "his or her" is the most appropriate choice to maintain gender inclusivity.

Submit
46. Pauline and Bruno have a big argument every summer over where they should spend their summer vacation.

Explanation

The given sentence is a complex sentence because it consists of an independent clause ("Pauline and Bruno have a big argument every summer") and a dependent clause ("over where they should spend their summer vacation"). The dependent clause cannot stand alone as a complete sentence and relies on the independent clause for its meaning.

Explanation

Submit
51. Although Jerzy had taken several courses in computer science, he couldn't solve the problems with his hard drive.

Explanation

The given sentence states that the independent clause begins with the word "he." This means that the part of the sentence starting with "he" can stand alone as a complete sentence. In this case, "he couldn't solve the problems with his hard drive" is a complete thought that expresses Jerzy's inability to fix the issues with his hard drive.

56. Laughter is the best medicine. What term describes the word "laughter"?

Explanation

The term that describes the word "laughter" is a mass noun. Mass nouns are used to refer to things that cannot be counted or quantified, such as substances or concepts.
