What kinds of clauses does the following sentence

Question 1 of 5

What kinds of clauses does the following sentence contain? "Although Ted had an impressive education, he had little experience working with individuals, which made him less effective at relating to them."

A. Two dependent clauses and one independent clause B. One dependent clause and two independent clauses C. Two independent clauses and no dependent clauses D. One dependent clause and one independent clause

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The sentence consists of one dependent clause, 'Although Ted had an impressive education,' which introduces a condition. It also contains two independent clauses: 'he had little experience working with individuals,' which presents a fact, and 'which made him less effective at relating to them,' which provides additional information. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A is incorrect because it incorrectly identifies the number of independent and dependent clauses. Choice C is incorrect as it wrongly states that there are no dependent clauses in the sentence. Choice D is incorrect as it does not accurately represent the structure of the sentence.

Question 2 of 5

Which of the following choices would be the best beginning for an essay titled "Scientists Debate: Global Climate Change"?

A. The Earth is heating up. The polar ice caps are melting, and whole species are going extinct while governments and scientists argue over rules and regulations. B. The argument seems to be about whether climate change is really happening and if so, who causes it. Some scientists argue that people are causing the change. C. If the Earth heats up, what will our new world look like? Scientists who have dedicated their lives to understanding climate change have projected a series of scenarios that could happen. D. While few people can understand all of the issues related to climate change, one thing is sure: scientists do not agree. There seem to be several different views on how to look at climate change data.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Choice C would be the best beginning for an essay on 'Scientists Debate: Global Climate Change' because it sets the stage for discussion by introducing the potential consequences of Earth heating up and inviting readers to consider the implications. It also highlights the expertise of scientists who have dedicated their lives to understanding climate change, positioning them as credible sources for further discussion on the topic. The other choices either focus on the existing debate without providing a broader context (A and D) or present a narrow view on whether climate change is real and human-caused (B) without delving into the broader implications and discussions within the scientific community.

Question 3 of 5

Choose the sentence with the correct pronoun usage.

A. "This mystery concerns my friend Watson and me." B. "This mystery concerns me and my friend Watson." C. "This mystery concerns my friend Watson and I." D. "This mystery concerns I and my friend Watson."

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct pronoun usage is 'me' when it is the object of a verb or preposition. In this sentence, 'me' is the object of the verb 'concerns,' so it should be used instead of 'I.' Additionally, the correct order for objects in a sentence is 'my friend Watson and me.' Choice B is incorrect because 'me' should come before 'my friend Watson' to maintain the correct order. Choice C is incorrect as 'I' is incorrectly used instead of 'me.' Choice D is incorrect because 'I' is used incorrectly as the object pronoun, and the order is reversed.

Question 4 of 5

Logan had already forgiven Marianne for telling his secret, and so when he was presented with a chance to treat her in kind, he simply did what he did best-he kept his mouth shut. Which of the words in the sentence above is a past participle?

A. telling B. forgiven C. and D. treat

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'forgiven' as it is a past participle. A past participle is used to indicate an action that has already occurred in the past. In this sentence, 'forgiven' describes the state of Logan having forgiven Marianne. Choice A, 'telling', is a present participle, not a past participle, which is used for ongoing or continuous actions. Choice C, 'and', is a conjunction that connects phrases or words. Choice D, 'treat', is a verb in its base form, not a past participle.

Question 5 of 5

Choose the sentence with correct punctuation and formatting:

A. Throughout the song, he says "Remember the better days" and he gives examples. B. Throughout the song, he says, "Remember the better days," and he gives examples. C. Throughout the song, he says Remember the better days, and he gives examples. D. Throughout the song, he says Remember the better days and he gives examples.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because it uses proper punctuation and formatting with the quotation marks around the phrase 'Remember the better days' and a comma after it to indicate the continuation of the sentence. This follows standard grammar rules for punctuating quotes within a sentence. Choice A lacks a comma after the quoted phrase, which is needed before the conjunction 'and.' Choices C and D have missing or misplaced commas and lack proper quotation marks around the quoted phrase, making them incorrect in terms of punctuation and formatting.
