Answer 1

i am thinking that in the first question i can remove the (OBN) because that isnt necessary

in the second question i would write out forty and analyze is spelled wrong

in the third, i believe hairballs is one word and i would change the parenthesis to commas, ?

Answer 2

you do not need the "who are" in the second sentence. possibly, it would be better to spell out *forty. Also, i would correct analysis and change it to *analyze :)

Answer 3

thanks:)

Answer 4

Cats are not the only mammals that experience hair balls. A human can form a hair ball (known as a trichobezoar), and they can cause abdominal obstruction.----

Answer 5

I will add a little to this too.

A) In order to do this I would pass out 40 surveys to high school children

The sentence A needs a comma after the word "this"


B) After receiving the results from the surveys I would then analysis the surveys and attempt to understand the extent of the problem.

Sentence B needs a comma between the word surveys and "I". Also, take out the word "then" after would. It is not needed and makes the sentence wordy. You could also put a comma between the word surveys and the word "and"

C) Cats are not the only mammals that experience hair balls. A human can form a hair ball (known as a trichobezoar), and they can cause abdominal obstruction.

In sentence C, you do not use a comma when using parentheses ( ). Parentheses act as a comma. I would personally construct the sentence like below

Cats are not the only mammals that experience hair balls. A human can form a hair ball, which is known as a trichobezoar, and they can cause abdominal obstruction.

Answer 6

Yup, same assignment

Answer 7

The sentences are not succinctly and clearly written. Here they are written correctly:

The Ohio Board of Nursing ("OBN") oversees the legal practice of nursing in Ohio.

To learn more about the prevalence of high school children experiencing depression, I am going to survey 40 students and analyze the results.

Humans, as well as cats, can develop hair balls, known as trichobezoars, which may cause abdominal obstruction.

Answer 8

The Ohio Board of Nursing, OBN, oversees the legal practice of nursing in Ohio.
If you don't want to change the next sentences as Lois has done , I would change "analysis" to "analyse".
I would also connect "hair to balls to make a compound word.
