1. The grammatical elements represented by the bold words in the sentence, "When Shawn arrives at work, he hangs his jacket on his chair," are C. independent clause.
To determine this, you need to understand the different types of sentence elements. A dependent clause cannot stand alone as a complete sentence because it relies on an independent clause to make sense. A sentence is a complete thought that contains a subject and a predicate. A phrase is a group of related words that does not contain a subject and a predicate.
In the given sentence, "When Shawn arrives at work" is a dependent clause because it does not express a complete thought. "He hangs his jacket on his chair" is an independent clause as it can stand alone as a complete sentence. Therefore, the correct answer is C. independent clause.
2. The independent clause in the sentence "I never miss Art Club meetings because I love to draw" is A. I never miss art club meetings.
To identify an independent clause, you need to look for a complete thought that can stand alone as a sentence. In this case, "I never miss art club meetings" is a complete thought that expresses a complete idea. The other options contain dependent clauses or fragments of a sentence. Therefore, the correct answer is A. I never miss art club meetings.
3. The dependent clause in the sentence "The store ran out of paper quickly because supplies were limited" is B. because supplies were limited.
To identify a dependent clause, you need to look for a group of words that does not form a complete thought and relies on an independent clause to make sense. In this case, "because supplies were limited" does not express a complete thought and depends on the independent clause "The store ran out of paper quickly" to make sense. Therefore, the correct answer is B. because supplies were limited.
4. The sentence that shows a relationship between two independent clauses is D. The floods caused widespread damage, and residents were without power for a week.
To identify a relationship between two independent clauses, you need to look for a coordinating conjunction (such as "and," "but," "or") that connects the two clauses. In this case, the coordinating conjunction "and" is used to connect the two independent clauses "The floods caused widespread damage" and "residents were without power for a week." Therefore, the correct answer is D. The floods caused widespread damage, and residents were without power for a week.
5. The relationship between the clauses in the sentence "I love going to the fair during the summer" is C. a relationship within a single independent clause.
To identify the relationship between clauses, you need to determine if the clauses are dependent or independent and how they are connected. In this case, there is only one clause, which is independent. Therefore, the relationship is within a single independent clause, and the correct answer is C. a relationship within a single independent clause.
6. The option that best combines the two simple sentences into one compound sentence while maintaining the meaning of the original sentences is B. Maverick needed to go to the store, and his dog wanted to go with him.
To combine two simple sentences into one compound sentence, you need to use a coordinating conjunction (such as "and," "but," "or") to connect the two clauses. In this case, the coordinating conjunction "and" is used to connect "Maverick needed to go to the store" and "his dog wanted to go with him." This option maintains the meaning of the original sentences. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Maverick needed to go to the store, and his dog wanted to go with him.
7. The sentence in which the modifying phrase is placed incorrectly is D. Ana wants to buy new athletic shoes from her favorite store once she saves up enough money, Shoe Empire.
To determine if a modifying phrase is placed correctly, you need to ensure that it is located close to the word or phrase it is modifying. In this case, the modifying phrase "from her favorite store" is placed incorrectly as it is separated from the word it modifies, "athletic shoes." The correct placement would be "Ana wants to buy new athletic shoes called Shoe Empire from her favorite store once she saves up enough money." Therefore, the correct answer is D. Ana wants to buy new athletic shoes from her favorite store once she saves up enough money, Shoe Empire.
8. The revision of the sentence that uses commas accurately is A. Erika helped the elderly woman with her shopping basket, which was overflowing with vegetables.
To use commas accurately, you need to correctly separate nonessential information from the main sentence. In this case, the phrase "which was overflowing with vegetables" provides additional information about the shopping basket but is not essential to the meaning of the sentence. Therefore, it should be set off by commas. The correct answer is A. Erika helped the elderly woman with her shopping basket, which was overflowing with vegetables.
