You're welcome!

1. The best way to correct the error in the given sentence, "Neither Tim nor Kristina go to the movies often," is to change the verb form to match the subject. The correct answer would be C. Change the verb to goes: "Neither Tim nor Kristina goes to the movies often." In this case, we are using the singular form of the verb "go" because the subject (Neither Tim nor Kristina) is treated as a singular entity.

To arrive at this answer, we need to understand subject-verb agreement. In a sentence with subjects joined by the conjunction "nor," the verb should agree with the closest subject (in this case, Kristina). Since Kristina is singular, the verb "goes" should be used instead of "go."

2. The sentence that contains a dependent clause is D. "I've watched so many movies that take place in London." The part of the sentence "that take place in London" introduces a dependent clause that cannot function independently as a complete sentence. It depends on the main clause "I've watched so many movies."

To identify a dependent clause, look for a subject and verb combination that does not form a complete thought on its own and relies on another part of the sentence for meaning.

3. The independent clause in the sentence "Since you moved to Spain, I have been feeling lonely" is D. "I have been feeling lonely." An independent clause can stand alone as a complete thought because it contains a subject (I) and a verb phrase (have been feeling lonely) that expresses a complete idea.

In this sentence, "Since you moved to Spain" is a dependent clause that introduces the cause (or reason) for the main clause "I have been feeling lonely." The dependent clause does not convey a complete thought and relies on the main clause for meaning.
