Ana wants to buy new athletic shoes from her favorite store once she saves up enough money, Shoe Empire.
The sentence in which the modifying phrase is placed incorrectly is:
"Ana wants to buy new athletic shoes from her favorite store once she saves up enough money, Shoe Empire."
In this sentence, "Shoe Empire" is not part of the modifying phrase and should not be separated from the rest of the sentence by a comma. The correct sentence should be:
"Ana wants to buy new athletic shoes from her favorite store, Shoe Empire, once she saves up enough money."

Which revision of this sentence uses commas accurately?
Erika helped the elderly woman with her shopping basket, which was overflowing with vegetables.
Erika helped the elderly woman with her shopping basket, which was overflowing with vegetables.
Erika helped the elderly woman, with her shopping basket which was overflowing with vegetables.
Erika helped the elderly woman, with her shopping basket which was overflowing with vegetables.

Erika helped, the elderly woman with her shopping basket which was overflowing with vegetables.

Erika, helped the elderly woman with her shopping basket which was overflowing with vegetables.
The revision of this sentence that uses commas accurately is:
"Erika helped the elderly woman with her shopping basket, which was overflowing with vegetables."
This revision of the sentence uses a comma to set off the relative clause "which was overflowing with vegetables," modifying the noun "shopping basket." This correctly shows that the relative clause is giving additional information about the shopping basket and is not essential to identifying the subject of the sentence.
Jessica ate the cookies that her daughter baked for her.
In one to two sentences, identify the bold words as an independent clause, dependent clause, or phrase, and explain their functions within the sentence.
The bold words "that her daughter baked for her" is a dependent clause in the sentence "Jessica ate the cookies that her daughter baked for her." The dependent clause functions as an adjective to modify the noun "cookies" by describing which cookies Jessica ate. It cannot stand alone as a sentence because it doesn't express a complete thought and depends on the independent clause for its meaning.

Rachel's younger brother is in fourth grade. She is trying to explain to him how to do a household task. She is going to read the explanation aloud and post it on the refrigerator for him to refer to later. What kind of sentences do you recommend Rachel use: simple, compound, complex, or compound-complex?
Identify two sentence types and explain why you think they would effectively communicate Rachel's message.
I recommend Rachel use simple and compound sentences when explaining how to do a household task to her younger brother. Simple sentences are basic and easy to understand, while compound sentences can provide more detail and additional information.
For example, a simple sentence like "Put the dishes in the dishwasher" is clear and easy to follow. A compound sentence like "First, gather all the dishes and put them in the sink, then use dish soap and a sponge to scrub them clean" can provide more detail and explanation.
Another example of a compound sentence could be "After the dishes are washed and the dishwasher is loaded, press the Start button and let the machine do the work."
Using a combination of simple and compound sentences will help Rachel effectively communicate her message to her younger brother and ensure he is able to successfully complete the household task.
In one to two sentences, explain how using a variety of sentence types improves a story. (2 points)
Using a variety of sentence types improves a story by keeping it interesting and engaging. A mix of different sentence structures - simple, complex, compound, and compound-complex - can create a varied rhythm that captures the reader's attention and adds depth and complexity to the story.
To reach her goal of buying a new bike, Marsha will need to save $10 each week.
To reach her goal of buying a new bike each week, Marsha will need to save $10.
In three to five sentences, explain how the placement of the italicized phrase changes the meaning of the sentence.
The italicized phrase "each week" in the first sentence modifies the verb "save," indicating that Marsha needs to save $10 every week in order to reach her goal. The second sentence, however, places the phrase "each week" after "new bike," modifying that phrase instead. This indicates that Marsha will need to buy a new bike every week in order to reach her goal, which is a completely different meaning. In other words, the placement of the italicized phrase changes whether Marsha needs to save $10 every week or whether she needs to buy a new bike every week to reach her goal.
