In the sentence "American music from 1900 to 1950 was notably for its harmony and melody, which served the public well," there is indeed one mistake. The option with the correct form is:

c) American music from 1900 to 1950 was notable for its harmony and melody, which served the public well.

  • Let's focus on the first part of the sentence first, which is "American music from 1900 to 1950 was notably for its harmony and melody."
  • The complete subject of that part is "American music from 1900 to 1950."
  • That subject is followed by a linking verb, which is the past form of to be, "was".
  • Linking verbs are usually <u>not followed by adverbs</u>. They are followed by adjectives that modify the subject.
  • "Notably" is an adverb. We must change it into an adjective for the sentence to be correct. The equivalent adjective is "notable".
  • The correct sentence would then be: "American music from 1900 to 1950 was notable for its harmony and melody."

  • Now, let's take a look at the second part of the sentence, which is "which served the public well."
  • Here, we also have an adverb, "well", following a verb, "served".
  • But, in this case, it is<u> not wrong</u> to use to adverb. "Served" is not a linking verb. It is an action verb, and it can be modified by the adverb "well".
  • Therefore, there is <u>no mistake</u> in the second part of the sentence.

With the information above in mind, we can conclude that the correct option is letter C. American music from 1900 to 1950 was notable for its harmony and melody, which served the public well.

Why do you think it takes courage to achieve something? Explain your answer.(please put it in ace format)
Anni [7]
It takes courage to achieve something because you have to start it in the first place.

What if you had to jump off a diving board from a high level to win a bet? Or maybe sing or give a speech in front of a huge crowd if you were afraid of speaking in public? Getting good grades, graduating, asking a crush out.

All of these things are possible to accomplish, yet you need courage to achieve them because it’s scary to start if you’re afraid you might fail. You need courage to achieve them because of how hard it may get in the process.

Masja [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

One day I went to the store

I bought sugar and a pinwheel

With money from my mom.

On another day I was walking

And a car had some weird exhaust-

It smelled like lavender.

The calendar said there would be mist,

So maybe it was that instead.

I have faith that you will figure it out.
