Answer 40

what is underlined?

Answer 41

oh sorry I didn't read it correctly..one sec..

Answer 42

You are correct ...A. for the last one

Answer 43

Actually for the last one it is C. telling "when" the plants where watered. adverb tells 'how', 'when' or 'where' and defines verbs or adjective. The only answers that could answer the adverb questions of How? When? or Where? are answers C and D. "on our back porch" however is a prepositional phrase, not a clause. The answer would then be C answering the question of when Henry watered the plants.

Answer 44

I hope I didn't mess you up...Do you understand? Also a clause has a subject and a verb, while a phrase does not. So it Can't be A.

Answer 45

yes
