Answer:
Dogs
Dog owners normally have a stronger immune system, helping them to stay well and spend less time getting over sicknesses and diseases. Nothing beats a long walk with your four-legged friend on a fresh, spring morning. Or seeing the joy on their faces when you pick up a ball and they know it’s playtime in the local park! Even relaxing at home feels better in each other’s company.One of the unexpected benefits of dogs is the way they add to your social life. Going to obedience classes, saying ‘hello’ to other dog walkers when you go to the park with your canine companion – there are dozens of ways in which your dog makes you more sociable.
Your new puppy will get you out and about, trying things you never considered before and introducing you to new experiences. Whether you’re going to a new pet shop or exploring a new area to make your dog’s daily walk more interesting, you’re bound to see new people all the time. You’re unlikely to stop for a chat with a stranger when you’re walking by yourself, but we all know how easy it is to talk when our dogs want to make friends. And, no matter how different we are, we have something in common – our highly sociable, friendly dogs!One of the most fascinating benefits of dogs is their amazing ability to make us feel calm - and that has a brilliant effect on our health.
Hope this is good enough...
What passage specifically? There’s no picture so we won’t be able to help you
The correct answer is: [A]:
________________________________________________________
"People will not get ahead if they do not study."
________________________________________________________
Explanation:
________________________________________________________
Note that one (1) feature of an "adverb clause" is that an "adverb clause" must begin with a "subordinating conjunction".
________________________________________________________
The only answer choices provided that meet this criterion are:
________________________________________________________
Choice: [A]: "People will not get ahead if they do not study."
In this sentence, there is a "subordinating conjunction"— which is—" if ".
________________________________________________________
Choice: [C]: " Because of the defensive driving lessons, I am probably a better driving today ".
In this sentence, there is a "subordinating conjunction"
— which is—"Because" .
________________________________________________________
Note the other criteria for "adverb clauses" — as follows:
________________________________________________________
1) Adverb clauses are "modifiers".
2) Adverb clauses contain both a subject AND a verb.
3) Adverb clauses, on their own, do not form complete sentences.
_______________________________________________________
Consider: Choice: [C]:
_______________________________________________________
"Because of the defensive driving lessons, I am probably a better driving today."
→ Note: Since the particular clause beings with the "subordinating conjunction—"Because" (in this case) — consider the phrase:
_______________________________________________________
"Because of the defense driving lessons" ;
→ This is NOT an "adverb clause". An "adverb clause" must contain BOTH a "noun" AND a "verb"— and this particular clause does NOT contain a "verb".
Rule out "Choice: [C] " .
___________________________________________________________
Consider:
"Choice: [A]: "People will not get ahead if they do not study."
→ <u>Note</u>: Since the particular clause beings with the "subordinating conjunction"—" if " (in this case) — consider the phrase:
_______________________________________________________
" if they do not study ."
_______________________________________________________
→ Note the following:
_______________________________________________________
1) This clause contains BOTH a "noun" —which is: "they" (a subject pronoun referring to "people"); AND a "verb" —which is: "do [not] study" .
2) This clause modifies "people" .
3) This clause is a NOT a sentence if it stands alone.
___________________________________________________________
Thus; this very answer choice: "Answer choice: [A]:
__________________________________________________________
→ "People will not get ahead if they do not study."
__________________________________________________________
→ is the only sentence —
(among the answer choices provided) —
that: 1) is an "adverb clause" ; AND:
that: 2) is the correct answer.
__________________________________________________________
