which choice is an example of an incorrect or illogical comparison? (A)English class is Rita's favorite class of the day (B)Javier gets a perfect score on spelling tests more often than anyone. (C)Tests seem to make Elena more nervous than other class activities do. (D)Soren has red more books this year than anyone else in his class
c is illogical because a test isnt a class
omg thank you very much
your welcome
B. Because we don't know what kind grades other people are getting. Javier may have gotten a perfect score on 2 out of 10 tests, but failed the other 8, while someone else may be more consistent in getting As even if they didn't get any perfect scores. C is logical because they're comparing tests to class ACTIVITIES not classes.
okay thanks would u happen to know this one? -The two presidential candidates were deeply involved in debate. Which word is the adverb? (A)presidential (B)two (C)deeply (D)involved
Yes, it's C, deeply. Many (but definitely not all) word ending in -ly are adverbs. That's the first clue. But the key is you have to ask what word does deeply describe (modify)? It is describing "involved". How involved were they? They were deeply involved. Involved is part of the verb in this sentence. Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. Adjectives can only modify nouns.
Okay i get it now Thank you (:
