    • Given the hard choices our coach has had to make this year it's no wonder she's decided to retire.

    • Given the hard choices our coach has had to make this year, it's no wonder she's decided to retire.

    Correct Answer
    A. Given the hard choices our coach has had to make this year, it's no wonder she's decided to retire.
    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". The comma helps to separate the introductory phrase from the main clause of the sentence.

    Correct Answer
    A. The children were delighted by the monkeys swinging wildly through the trees.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "The children were delighted by the monkeys swinging wildly through the trees." 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."

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

    • The underlined part is the independent clause.

    • Trick question: there is no independent clause.

    • The independent clause begins with "Juditha."

    Correct Answer
    A. The independent clause begins with "Juditha."
    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.

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

    • This sentence contains two independent clauses.

    • The underlined part is the complete independent clause.

    • The entire sentence is one independent clause.

    Correct Answer
    A. The entire sentence is one independent clause.
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 45. 

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

    • Their

    • His or her

    Correct Answer
    A. His or her
    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.
