Read the excerpt below from the novel Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J. K. Rowling and answer the question that follow

s.
A breeze ruffled the neat hedges of Privet Drive, which lay silent and tidy under the inky sky, the very last place you would expect astonishing things to happen. Harry Potter rolled over inside his blankets without waking up. One small hand closed on the letter beside him and he slept on, not knowing he was special, not knowing he was famous, not knowing he would be woken in a few hours' time by Mrs. Dursley's scream as she opened the front door to put out the milk bottles, nor that he would spend the next few weeks being prodded and pinched by his cousin Dudley. . . . He couldn't know that at this very moment, people meeting in secret all over the country were holding up their glasses and saying in hushed voices: "To Harry Potter—the boy who lived!"

The excerpt above is from page 21 of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J. K. Rowling. Which passage represents a correctly formatted quotation from the excerpt above?

Harry Potter lies outside his aunt and uncle's house, unaware that his life has changed forever (Rowling 21).
While Potter lies outside his aunt and uncle’s house, he “[sleeps] on, not knowing he [is] special” and praised all over the country (Rowling 21).
A wind sweeps gently over the trimmed hedges of Privet Drive, which lies quiet and neat under the dark sky, not a place where one would expect anything out of the ordinary to occur (Rowling 21).
The Harry Potter books are so entertaining because they paint a picture of a world in which we all want to live. We all long to find that extraordinary secret that will reveal our own special quality. Like little infant Potter waiting outside his aunt and uncle's house (Rowling 21), it's just a matter of time until we find that we are, after all, special.

Answer:

1) 1 - D, 2 - C, 3 - A, 4 - B

2) It is a simple sentence.

3) It is a complex sentence.

4) It is a compound sentence.

5) It is a complex-compound sentence.

6) The cat walked and purred.

7) It became a complex sentence.

8) The correct one - Because the storm raged for three hours, many homes were flooded.

9) The correct one - We picked the red apples from the orchard.

10) The correct one - Although the soccer team practiced every weekend this month, they still lost all of the games.

Explanation:

1.

1 - D. <u>Two or more independent clauses and one or more dependent clauses - </u><u>Compound-Complex Sentence.</u>

2 - C. <u>One independent clause and one or more dependent clauses - </u><u>Complex Sentence.</u>

3 - A. <u>The sentence with only one independent clause (one complete thought - </u><u>Simple Sentence.</u>

4 - B. <u>Two or more simple sentences that are joined by coordinate conjunction, punctuation, or both - </u><u>Compound Sentence.</u>

2.

This sentence is simple. The cat crawled under the table to hide. As it has just one independent clause or one complete thought. It has one subject, one verb, and modifiers.

3.

Although it rained for three hours, the coach did not cancel baseball practice.

It is a complex sentence. It has one independent clause (the coach did not cancel baseball practice - one complete thought, it can be a separate sentence) and one dependent clause (Although it rained for three hours - it doesn't have a complete thought, it depends on the other part of the sentence).

4.

Mom baked cookies for the school picnic, and Dad volunteered to grill the hamburgers.

It is a compound sentence these two sentences are independent, they can stand alone, and they are joined by coordinating conjunction 'and'.

5.

After Molly lost the student council election, she decided to try out for soccer, and her friends thought she made a good decision.

It is a complex compound sentence. It has two independent clauses that can stand on their own without losing a complete thought (1: she decided to try out for soccer, 2: her friends thought she made a good decision), and one dependent clause (After Molly lost the student council election), it can't stand alone.

6.

The best way to combine these two sentences (The cat walked. The cat purred.) --->> <u>The cat walked and purred.</u> Because these sentences have one subject, the same cat walked and purred, so it is better to connect them with the conjunction 'and'.

7.

The most effective way to combine the following two sentences: Allison drank all the milk. She went to the store to buy another gallon --->> <u>Since Allison drank all the milk, she went to the store to buy another gallon.</u>

These two sentences became a complex sentence with the help of the word 'since'. It has one independent clause - a complete thought (she went to the store to buy another gallon), and one dependent clause (Since Allison drank all the milk). This dependent clause explains to us why happened the main clause.

8.

Here we need to combine two sentences into a complex sentence: The storm raged for three hours. Many homes were flooded.

From the given options, the correct one is <u>Because the storm raged for three hours, many homes were flooded. </u>

It has one main clause and one dependent clause.

9.

Here we need to combine two sentences into one - We picked apples from the orchard. The apples were red.

From the given options, the correct one is <u>We picked the red apples from the orchard.</u>

10.

Here we need to combine two sentences into one smoother, more effective sentence. The soccer team practiced every weekend this month. The soccer team still lost all of their games.

This is my answer - <u>Although the soccer team practiced every weekend this month, they still lost all of the games.</u>

I hope it helped you :)
