@Vocaloid

Nicole:

I am thinking B

Vocaloid:

for an inverted sentence, the subject comes after the verb in this case, the subject is "group" and the verb is "was"

Vocaloid:

yeah B is correct

AdiGirl:

@Vocaloid can you help me in a question pls

Nicole:

http://prntscr.com/kdz567

Vocaloid:

any ideas? which sentence puts the two ideas together w/o adding any new information or creating an error?

AdiGirl:

I think it would be the second choice

Nicole:

D?

Vocaloid:

good, D

Nicole:

http://prntscr.com/kdz652

Vocaloid:

any ideas? keep in mind the shirt is the thing covered in dirt, not the boy, so we would want the new sentence to reflect that idea

Nicole:

B?

Vocaloid:

perfect

Nicole:

http://prntscr.com/kdz6k3

Vocaloid:

as a hint a run-on sentence could have two independent clauses separated by a comma

Nicole:

C?

Vocaloid:

good

Nicole:

http://prntscr.com/kdz77t

Nicole:

B?

Vocaloid:

good

Nicole:

http://prntscr.com/kdz7kv

Nicole:

D? I think

Vocaloid:

almost, keep in mind the boy is the subject not the dog

Nicole:

B

AdiGirl:

so b?

Vocaloid:

good

Nicole:

http://prntscr.com/kdz8jw

Vocaloid:

as a hint, for demands/requests, the subject is understood to be "you"

Nicole:

D

Vocaloid:

hm not quite, an "understood" subject is not stated in the sentence itself which sentence is making a demand or a request?

Nicole:

Ohh C

Vocaloid:

good

Vocaloid:

need to take care of something i'll be back as soon as i can

AdiGirl:

wait

AdiGirl:

@Vocaloid I need help on a question

Nicole:

http://prntscr.com/kdz8qk

Nicole:

Oh okay voca

AdiGirl:

wait

AdiGirl:

Nicole

Vocaloid:

think about the type behaviors associated with a squirrel - scurrying, scared, etc. and the actions performed in the passage

Nicole:

C?

Vocaloid:

good, panic

Nicole:

http://prntscr.com/kdzqem

Nicole:

His?

Vocaloid:

indirect object = something or somebody that is receiving the action but is not the object being acted on

Vocaloid:

close, "his" is a possessive pronoun the action is buying flowers, who is receiving the action of being bought flowers?

Nicole:

sister?

Vocaloid:

good

Nicole:

http://prntscr.com/kdzrij

Nicole:

B?

Vocaloid:

good

Nicole:

http://prntscr.com/kdzs3c

Vocaloid:

try to find the sentence that uses a linking verb to connect the subject an an adjective(s)

Nicole:

D?

Vocaloid:

good

Nicole:

http://prntscr.com/kdztab

Nicole:

B or C

Nicole:

Doctor?

Vocaloid:

good, doctor, since Doctor is part of his title, psychologist is just a generic description, so doctor is the one capitalized

Nicole:

http://prntscr.com/kdztp4

Vocaloid:

eh. none of these are great answers but since the passage specifically mentions "slaves know as little of their age as horses know of theirs" they're making a direct comparison between slave and animals making A the best choice

Nicole:

Oh ok http://prntscr.com/kdzuh3

Nicole:

A?

Vocaloid:

good

Nicole:

http://prntscr.com/kdzuqp

Vocaloid:

hm. we can eliminate A and D (not directly supported by the passage) between B and C which one do you think might be better?

Nicole:

i think B

Vocaloid:

hm, close, but the main idea is that slaves might not want to escape because it would mean leaving their friends/family behind, making C a bit better suited to the passage not the best question but eh

Nicole:

got it last one: http://prntscr.com/kdzv48

Vocaloid:

hm. I'm really not 100% on this one but here's my reasoning B: is already answered in the passage (captain, officers, crew are the ones responsible) C: the meaning of apprise is already obvious from the passage so it's either A or D

Vocaloid:

actually come to think of it D is already kind of answered in the passage (being alert and vigilant) so by process of elimination A is best
