Select the word that the adverb clause modifies in this sentence. We can't remember where we packed the tent stakes, in the tote bag or under the seat of the car.

SmokeyBrown:

I think "remember" is the word being modified, because the adverb clause "where we packed the tent stakes" modifies "what" is being "remembered"

bill533:

Select the clause from the drop-down menu to correctly complete the sentence. Only the players ______________ are going to get sunburned today. A. , who did not put on sunscreen, B. who did not put on sunscreen C. , who did not put on sunscreen D. who did not put on sunscreen,

SmokeyBrown:

I think the option without commas would be correct, since the phrase is an adjective phrase, not a dependent clause, so it doesn't need to be separated from the main independent clause

bill533:

Select the word that the adverb clause modifies in this sentence. We can't remember where we packed the tent stakes, in the tote bag or under the seat of the car. Which revision of these two sentences uses an adverb clause? A tiger raised the puppy. But people were able to train the puppy well. A. The puppy, raised by a tiger, was able to be trained well by people. B. Even though a tiger raised the puppy, people were able to train the puppy well. C. A tiger raised the puppy, but people were able to train the puppy well. D. People trained the puppy well that the tiger raised.

SmokeyBrown:

I think A would be correct here. B would be a complex sentence with a dependent clause at the beginning. C would be a compound sentence with two independent clauses. D isn't even grammatically correct, I think.

bill533:

it was B

Who Are Journalists like a summary of who are they

SmokeyBrown:

Hm, I guess journalists are generally people who investigate and report the news to a large audience?

bill533:

A. also known as the Tasmanian tiger, B. which was also called the Tasmanian tiger, C. driven to extiniction by humans, D. or Tasmanian tiger,

B is the only one that is a relative clause, since it starts with "which", a relative pronoun.

SmokeyBrown:

Yeah, I'm sure

bill533:

correct

Read the passage. excerpt from "The Sinews of Peace" by Winston Churchill A world organisation has already been erected for the prime purpose of preventing war, UNO, the successor of the League of Nations, with the decisive addition of the United States and all that that means, is already at work. We must make sure that its work is fruitful, that it is a reality and not a sham, that it is a force for action, and not merely a frothing of words, that it is a true temple of peace in which the shields of many nations can some day be hung up, and not merely a Marspit in the Tower of Babel. Before we cast away the solid assurances of national armaments for self-preservation we must be certain that our temple is built, not upon shifting sands or quagmires, but upon rock. Anyone can see with his eyes open that our path will be difficult and also long, but if we persevere together as we did in the two world wars—though not, alas, in the interval between them—I cannot doubt that we shall achieve our common purpose in the end. Refer to Explorations in Literature for a complete version of the speech. How does Churchill use rhetoric to advance his purpose in this section of "The Sinews of Peace"? A. Churchill uses a metaphor that compares the defunct League of Nations to the Tower of Babel, thereby suggesting that past attempts to bring diverse cultures and nations together were foolish and destructive. B. Churchill uses a metaphor that compares the newly formed United Nations to a temple, thereby strengthening his argument that the UN's mission to secure peace and maintain freedom is a moral and ethical one that must be supported. C. Churchill employs a metaphor that compares the world's future to a path that leads to one of two destinations, war or peace, in order to insist that its leaders bring their people in the proper direction. D. Churchill employs a metaphor that compares atomic weapons to shields, thereby supporting his assertion that the United States and other western democracies only developed atomic weapons to defend themselves.

SmokeyBrown:

I'm gonna go ahead and say B for this one
