Having undertaken a variety of proactive steps to forestall the inclusion of items that might, due to an item's content, have an unwarrantedly adverse impact on students because of any student's personal characteristics, the test-developers then, based on sound methodological guidelines, should carry out a series of empirically based bias-detection studies.
A. Unitalicized negative
B. Advanced vocabulary terms
C. Complex syntax
I don't know what your question is about this "sentence," is but this is a bunch of gibberish. Not only is the vocabulary obtuse, but the sentence structure is a nightmare!
It was actually a question I was given in my education class... I have to pick the best answer that fits the statement.
Since my answer isn't listed (gibberish and nightmare don't seem to be one of your choices), I'll go for C.
I think the answer is B. Others can be but i feel B are more true
C. Complex syntax
In the given sentence, the presence of complex syntax is evident. Complex syntax refers to sentences that are structurally intricate and involve the use of multiple clauses or phrases. These sentences typically contain subordination or coordination, which adds depth and complexity to the sentence structure.
To identify complex syntax in a sentence, you can consider the following:
1. Look for the presence of subordinate clauses: Subordinate clauses are dependent clauses that cannot stand alone as complete sentences. They often begin with words such as "although," "because," "while," etc. Identify any subordinate clauses in the sentence.
2. Check for coordination: Coordination involves connecting two or more independent clauses using coordinating conjunctions like "and," "but," "or," etc. Identify any coordinated clauses in the sentence.
3. Count the total number of phrases and clauses: Complex sentences usually consist of more than one phrase or clause. Count the number of phrases and clauses in the sentence to determine if it has complex syntax.
In the given sentence, the presence of multiple clauses and the use of terms like "due to," "because of," and "then" indicate a complex sentence structure. Therefore, option C, complex syntax, is the correct answer.
