C. Mr. Tanner is an inspiring, smart, energetic science teacher.
D. Mr. Tanner is an amazing seventh-grade science teacher.
C. Mr. Tanner is an inspiring, smart, energetic science teacher.
The sentence that contains coordinate adjectives is C. "Mr. Tanner is an inspiring, smart, energetic science teacher."
To identify the sentence that contains coordinate adjectives, we need to understand what coordinate adjectives are. Coordinate adjectives are adjectives that equally modify the same noun. In a sentence, they are separated by commas or the word "and."
Let's analyze the given options:
A. "Mr. Tanner is a new science teacher at Windsor Middle School."
This sentence does not contain coordinate adjectives because there is only a single adjective, "new," modifying the noun "science teacher."
B. "Mr. Tanner is my sister’s seventh-grade science teacher at Windsor Middle School."
Similarly to option A, this sentence has only one adjective, "seventh-grade," modifying the noun "science teacher." Therefore, it does not contain coordinate adjectives.
C. "Mr. Tanner is an inspiring, smart, energetic science teacher."
In this sentence, we find multiple adjectives, "inspiring," "smart," and "energetic," which are separated by commas. These adjectives equally modify the noun "science teacher." Therefore, this sentence contains coordinate adjectives.
D. "Mr. Tanner is an amazing seventh-grade science teacher."
Like options A and B, this sentence has only one adjective, "amazing," modifying the noun "seventh-grade science teacher." Thus, it does not contain coordinate adjectives.
Thus, the sentence that contains coordinate adjectives is:
C. "Mr. Tanner is an inspiring, smart, energetic science teacher."

The relative pronoun that is used with an essential clause, and the relative pronoun which is used with a nonessential clause. In 3–5 sentences, explain when to use each pronoun and the difference between the two types of relative clauses. (2 points)
The relative pronoun "that" is used with an essential clause, which is a clause that provides necessary information to identify or define the noun it modifies. These clauses cannot be removed without changing the meaning of the sentence. "That" is used when the information in the clause is essential to understanding the sentence.
On the other hand, the relative pronoun "which" is used with a nonessential clause, which provides additional, non-essential information about the noun it modifies. These clauses can be removed from the sentence without altering the meaning. "Which" is used when the information in the clause is not necessary for understanding the main point of the sentence.
For example:
1. "The book that I borrowed from the library is overdue." In this sentence, the essential clause "that I borrowed from the library" is necessary to identify which book is overdue. Removing the clause would make the sentence unclear.
2. "I finished reading the novel, which had been recommended by a friend." In this example, the nonessential clause "which had been recommended by a friend" provides additional information about the novel but can be removed without changing the main point of the sentence.
In summary, "that" is used with essential clauses that are necessary for understanding the sentence, while "which" is used with nonessential clauses that provide extra information but can be removed without altering the meaning.
