This is NOT a paragraph ~~> The store will have many discounts available for holiday shoppers.
1. To complete the sentence "The team __ is wearing the red jerseys is the one I came to see," you need to choose the correct pronoun. The pronoun that correctly completes the sentence is "that." The correct answer is C. "that."
To determine the answer, you can break down the sentence structure: "The team (subject) is wearing (verb) the red jerseys (object complement) is the one I came to see."
In this case, "that" is used as a relative pronoun to introduce a subordinate clause that describes the subject "team." It is the most appropriate pronoun to refer to the team.
2. To identify the sentence that is punctuated correctly, you need to review the options.
Option A: "A carpenter must use certain tools, hammers, saws, chisels, to finish a job."
This sentence uses a comma between "tools" and the subsequent list of tools. A comma is needed to separate the items in a list. However, there is no comma before the last item in the list. The correct punctuation would be: "A carpenter must use certain tools, hammers, saws, chisels, to finish a job." Therefore, option A is incorrect.
Option B: "A carpenter must use certain tools hammers, saws, chisels -to finish a job."
This sentence does not use any punctuation to separate the items in the list. It is therefore incorrect.
Option C: "A carpenter must use certain tools – hammers, saws, chisels to finish a job."
This sentence correctly uses an en dash (–) to separate the items in the list. The en dash helps clarify that the items are part of the list. Therefore, option C is correctly punctuated.
Option D: "A carpenter must use certain tools- hammers, saws, chisels- to finish a job."
This sentence uses hyphens (-) to separate the items in the list. However, hyphens are not appropriate for this purpose. Therefore, option D is incorrect.
The correct answer is C. "A carpenter must use certain tools – hammers, saws, chisels to finish a job."
3. To determine what the writer should address when revising the paragraph, you need to understand the purpose of the different options.
A. Sentence fluency: This refers to the flow and effectiveness of sentences. It focuses on sentence structure, length, and organization within a paragraph. It is not the primary issue in the given paragraph.
B. Punctuation: This refers to the correct use of punctuation marks. While it is important, it is not the primary issue in the given paragraph.
C. Paragraph organization: This refers to the coherence and logical progression of ideas within a paragraph. Based on the given paragraph, there is no issue with paragraph organization.
D. Writing clarity: This refers to the overall clarity and effectiveness of the writing. It includes aspects such as using clear language, avoiding ambiguity, and expressing ideas in a concise manner. The given paragraph could be improved in terms of clarity because it is a standalone sentence and does not connect well with the previous sentence.
Therefore, the writer should address writing clarity. The correct answer is D. Writing clarity.
4. To complete the sentence "I was waiting while a police officer wrote me a ticket for speeding on the interstate __________ my appointment window with the cable company technician was about to close," you need to choose the most appropriate word.
Based on the context, the word that best fits is "Meanwhile." The correct answer is C. "Meanwhile."
The word "Meanwhile" indicates that two events are happening at the same time. In this sentence, while the person is waiting for a ticket, their appointment window with the cable company technician is about to close. "Meanwhile" helps to show the simultaneous occurrence of these two events.
5. To complete the sentence "We could have -------------- lunch with them," you need to choose the correct option.
The correct option is "eaten." The correct answer is C. "eaten."
The sentence is discussing the possibility of having lunch with someone. Therefore, the appropriate verb form to complete the sentence is "eaten." This form indicates that the action of having lunch has already been completed.
