OpenStudy (anonymous):

I had c. but tat just doesn't look right to me.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I do not think it is C. Any second guesses?

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

Yeah, I don't think it's C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my second choice would be B.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B is incorrect.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I disagree. Now you have narrowed it down to two answers. A and D. You have 50% chance at getting it right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hint: A verb is an action word. they are doing or feeling something

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First (always) find the subject.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For A, First find the subject then ask "what re-identify's or describes the subject".

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now is A correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You basically just told him the answer. A is correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I didn't.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A would be my third guess.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A is incorrect.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes it is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how is it incorrect

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@BlossomCake What do you think?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A is incorrect?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think it is correct. @NeonStrawsForever how is it incorrect

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@AsiaJenell What is the linking verb in A?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Love

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, what is the subject?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Shoes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Tell me how does "love" links the subject to the entire sentence?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry, my computer lagged!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Or even describes shoes?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@BlossomCake It's alright. ^_^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I agree with @NeonStrawsForever A. is incorrect.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

`Love` is not a linking verb.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just realized that cute is verb, sorry. I needed to look at the options again. You are probably right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A is incorrect?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

`Cute` is not a verb.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How did you do that? @BlossomCake

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You use these around the word: `

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You type two of them.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right. it is adjective sorry. Then what is the verb

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then it comes like this: ` `

OpenStudy (anonymous):

`Are` is the verb.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:Hi:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

`Are` is the linking verb, that is.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D. because are is a form of verb

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, not : you use `

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:Hello

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh, okay. Thank you for enlightening me :) I was wrong. D is correct. Sorry...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@AsiaJenell It's alright. Honestly. ^_^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is a G.E.D.? And you are welcome! (Even though it was more the others than me)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a g.e.d is like a high school diploma. but since i dropped out of school and to old to return to high school. i have to get my g.e.d. which is just the same as a high school diploma.
