1. The verb in the sentence "Many people believe that the economy is not the worst problem in America" is "believe" (option b). To identify the verb in a sentence, you need to look for the word that describes an action or a state of being. In this case, "believe" describes the action of what many people think or believe.
2. The subject in the sentence "Her problems, her complaints, and her whining are starting to sound like reruns of daytime soap operas" includes multiple subjects. The subjects are "problems," "complaints," and "whining" (options a, b, and c). The subject of a sentence is the person, place, thing, or idea that the sentence is about.
3. The verbs in the sentence "She opened the book, placed her finger at the top of the page, and began to read about her favorite character" are "opened," "placed," and "began" (options a, e, and c). Verbs describe actions or states of being. In this sentence, the actions performed by the subject are "opened," "placed," and "began."
4. The subject in the sentence "All of the Christmas decorations in aisle five just went on sale at half price" is "Christmas decorations" (option c). The subject is the noun or noun phrase that the sentence is about.
5. The underlined verb in the sentence "The President seemed upset by the reporter's question" is a linking verb. This means that it connects the subject ("The President") to a subject complement ("upset"). Therefore, the answer is a. linking.
6. The underlined verb in the sentence "Tommy waved and smiled at his mother as he walked into the school on his first day" is an action - transitive verb. This means that it describes an action that is done to someone or something and requires a direct object. Therefore, the answer is b. action - transitive.
7. In the sentence "The reward of a college education may seem far away, but it can be the gateway to a better, brighter, more enjoyable future," there are two clauses, each with its own subject and verb. The subjects are "reward" and "it," and the verbs are "may seem" and "can be." Therefore, the answer is a. reward, c. may seem, e. it, g. can be.
8. The verbs in the sentence "Why do the nations cry out for justice; and how do we answer their cry?" are "cry" and "answer" (option b). Each verb refers to a different clause in the sentence, with "cry" being the main verb in the first clause and "answer" being the main verb in the second clause.
9. In the sentence "Why do the nations cry out for justice; and how do we answer their cry?", the word "cry" appears as a verb and a noun (option d). In the first clause, "cry" is used as a verb to describe the action of the nations crying out. In the second clause, "cry" is used as a noun to refer to what the nations are crying out for.
10. The correct answer is d. "Before pulling out of a parking space, a person should look to make sure he or she doesn't hit any oncoming traffic." This sentence maintains clarity and uses the correct pronoun "he or she" to refer to a person in a gender-neutral way.
