1: To determine which grammatical element the bold words represent, we need to analyze their function in the sentence. The bold words "When Shawn arrives at work" introduce a time-dependent condition and do not express a complete thought on their own. Therefore, they represent a dependent clause. Hence, the correct answer is C: dependent clause.
2: An independent clause is a clause that can stand alone as a complete sentence. In the given sentence, "I never miss Art Club meetings" is a complete thought and can be a standalone sentence. Therefore, it is an independent clause. Hence, the correct answer is B: I never miss Art Club meetings.
3: To identify the dependent clause, we need to look for a clause that cannot stand on its own and depends on another clause to form a complete thought. In the sentence, "because supplies were limited" cannot stand alone and relies on the main clause "The store ran out of paper quickly" to make sense. Therefore, "because supplies were limited" is the dependent clause. Hence, the correct answer is D: because supplies were limited (your answer).
4: To find a relationship between two independent clauses, we need to look for a coordinating conjunction (such as "and," "but," or "or") connecting two complete thoughts. In the given options, only option D, "The floods caused widespread damage, and residents were without power for a week," contains two independent clauses connected by the coordinating conjunction "and." Hence, the correct answer is D: The floods caused widespread damage, and residents were without power for a week (your answer).
5: To identify the relationship between clauses, we need to determine whether one clause depends on or is independent from the other. In the given sentence, "I love going to the fair during summer," it is a complete thought on its own and does not rely on another clause to make sense. Therefore, it represents a relationship within a single independent clause. Hence, the correct answer is B: a relationship within a single independent clause (your answer).
6: To combine two simple sentences into one compound sentence while maintaining the meaning, we can use a coordinating conjunction (such as "and," "but," or "or") or a subordinating conjunction (such as "because," "although," or "since"). In the given options, only option D, "Maverick needed to go to the store, and his dog wanted to go with him," combines the two sentences using a coordinating conjunction "and." Hence, the correct answer is D: Maverick needed to go to the store, and his dog wanted to go with him (your answer).
7: To identify the incorrect placement of a modifying phrase, we need to examine the sentence structure. In the given options, only option A, "Before she leaves for school, Ana needs to wash the dishes," correctly places the modifying phrase "Before she leaves for school." Hence, the correct answer is A: Before she leaves for school, Ana needs to wash the dishes (your answer).
8: To use commas accurately while revising the sentence, we need to ensure they are placed at appropriate locations. In the given options, only option C, "Erika helped the elderly woman with her shopping basket, which was overflowing with vegetables," correctly uses a comma to separate the non-restrictive relative clause "which was overflowing with vegetables." Hence, the correct answer is C: Erika helped the elderly woman with her shopping basket, which was overflowing with vegetables (your answer).
