To reach her goal of buying a new bike each week, Marsha will need to save $10.

In three to five sentences, explain how the placement of the italicized phrase changes the meaning of the sentence.

The placement of the italicized phrase in the first sentence implies that Marsha needs to save $10 every week in order to achieve her goal of buying a new bike eventually. However, the placement of the same phrase in the second sentence implies that Marsha needs to save $10 every day if she wants to buy a new bike every week, which is a more challenging and ambitious goal to achieve. The change in meaning emphasizes the importance of paying close attention to sentence structure and the placement of words and phrases.

(2 points)

The bold words "Jessica ate the cookies" are an independent clause as they can stand alone as a complete sentence. They serve as the main subject and verb of the sentence, conveying the action that occurred. The phrase "that her daughter baked for her" is a dependent clause that modifies the cookies that were eaten, providing additional information about them. It cannot stand alone as a complete sentence and requires the independent clause to make full sense.

The simple sentence "I felt proud" adequately captures the immense sense of accomplishment and pride I experienced upon receiving my diploma. However, this achievement was not without its challenges, as demonstrated by the compound sentence "I worked hard in school, but my classmates also played a significant role in my success". A complex sentence would be "During the ceremony, I couldn't help but reflect on the many obstacles I had overcome to reach this point". While a compound-complex sentence would be "Although I was excited to move on to the next chapter of my life, I couldn't help but feel a bit apprehensive about what the future held, but I knew that I was prepared to face whatever challenges came my way".
