To double check your work, we need to match your answers with the correct options. Let's go through each question and determine the correct answer:
1. (Stretching for 210 miles), the Thames is in England.
Answer: Participial phrase
The correct answer is participial phrase, as "Stretching for 210 miles" functions as a participial phrase modifying the noun "Thames."
2. (Eating flesh with razor-sharp teeth) is how piranhas survive.
Answer: Gerund phrase
The correct answer is gerund phrase, as "Eating flesh with razor-sharp teeth" acts as a noun in the sentence.
3. (Caleb was a basketball player from Knoxville High School.)
Answer: Simple sentence
The correct answer is a simple sentence, as it consists of a single independent clause.
4. The sisters snuggled together (so that they would stay warm.)
Answer: Adverbial clause
The correct answer is adverbial clause, as "so that they would stay warm" functions as an adverbial phrase modifying the verb "snuggled."
5. (When she returned from Paris, she took up baking on a regular basis.)
Answer: Subordinate clause
The correct answer is subordinate clause, as "When she returned from Paris" functions as a dependent clause within the sentence.
6. (As soon as the rain stopped), a flood of children appeared.
Answer: Adverbial clause
The correct answer is adverbial clause, as "As soon as the rain stopped" functions as an adverbial phrase modifying the verb "appeared."
7. The musical metal wind chimes are hanging on the porch (that my sister made.)
Answer: Adjectival clause
The correct answer is adjectival clause, as "that my sister made" functions as a relative clause modifying the noun "porch."
