You're welcome. And again I apologize for misleading you at first. My brain must have shut down then.
Sure! I'll walk you through each question and explain how to arrive at the correct answer.
1. In this sentence, "When are you having Jamie's surprise party?", the subject is "you." The complete subject refers to all the words that make up the subject of the sentence. In this case, "You having Jamie's surprise party" and "Jamie's surprise party" are phrases that provide additional information but are not the main subject. Therefore, the correct answer is D. "You" is the complete subject.
2. In the sentence "Jennifer and her brother were not allowed to go to Great Adventure with the Jones family," we have a compound subject ("Jennifer and her brother") and a compound predicate ("were not allowed to go to Great Adventure with the Jones family"). The correct answer is D. Sentence contains a compound subject and compound predicate.
3. The sentence "The rain poured into the river and flooded the nearby community" is a simple sentence because it only has one independent clause. There are no dependent clauses or conjunctions connecting multiple clauses. The correct answer is A. This is a simple sentence.
4. In the sentence "The rain fell, and the river flooded," we have two independent clauses connected by a coordinating conjunction ("and"). This makes it a compound sentence. The correct answer is B. This is a compound sentence.
5. The sentence "After the rain fell, the river flooded the community" contains a dependent clause ("After the rain fell") and an independent clause ("the river flooded the community"). This makes it a complex sentence. The correct answer is C. This is a complex sentence.
6. In the sentence "After the rain fell, the river flooded the community, and many residents had to move to higher ground," we have a combination of independent and dependent clauses connected by coordinating conjunctions. This makes it a compound-complex sentence. The correct answer is D. This is a compound-complex sentence.
7. The phrase "After the Christmas holiday and during the first few weeks of January" appears to be a fragment as it does not form a complete sentence. To correct the fragment, you can add a comma after "January" and then provide the missing part of the sentence. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Fragment - put a comma after January and finish the sentence.
I hope these explanations help you understand the questions better! Let me know if you have any more queries.
