To answer these questions, let's break them down step by step:
1. To combine the two sentences using a past participle, we need to use the present perfect tense. The correct sentence is: "Tiny Tim's tattered clothing showed he was destitute."
2. An appositive is a noun or noun phrase that renames or provides additional information about another noun. In this sentence, the appositive is "my best friend" as it provides additional information about Martha. Therefore, the correct answer is "my best friend."
3. In this sentence, the appositive is "richest men in the world." It renames and provides additional information about "One of the richest men in the world" and identifies the man being referred to. Thus, the correct answer is "richest men in the world."
4. A prepositional phrase consists of a preposition and its object. In this sentence, the prepositional phrase is "to the store" as it begins with the preposition "to" and its object is "the store." Hence, the correct answer is "drove to the store."
5. The preposition in this sentence is "on" as it shows the relationship between the action of leaving a note and its location on the door. Therefore, the correct answer is "on."
6. To find the word with the most positive connotation, we need to consider the word's meaning. From the given options, "assured" has the most positive connotation as it implies confidence and certainty. Hence, the correct answer is "assured."
Remember, to find the correct answer, it is important to understand the grammar rules and meanings of the words used in the sentences.
