Cædmon is the earliest English poet whose name is known. An Anglo-Saxon who cared for the animals at the double monastery of Streonæshalch during the abbacy of St. Hilda , he was originally ignorant of "the art of song" but learned to compose one night in the course of a dream, according to the 8th-century historian Bede. He later became a zealous monk and an accomplished and inspirational Christian poet.

Caedmon was a cowherd who later became a monk. The excerpt describes him as someone who was once lost and then was found. He did not know he had the gift of song until a miracle made him believe that he did.

Select the correct relative pronoun form the list given and complete the blank space in each of tge following sentences.

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

I will explain to you when to use these relative pronouns and then you can probably figure the answer out yourself. It's pretty simple!

Explanation:

Where: This relative pronoun refers to a place, such as the White House or the moon. "Where is my phone?"

When: This is about time. It can be at 12:00 in the morning, Tuesday, or even 1987. "This morning when the bus arrived, I wasn't ready so I missed it.

Who: This is about people. It can be soldiers, astronauts, students, etc. "The students, who were late to class, sat down 10 minutes before the final bell."

Which: This is about the difference between multiple things. For example: "Which should I use to eat dinner, the spoon or the fork?" This can also be used to talk about a place. "My house, which is very large, is a couple blocks away from school."

Why: This is when you want to ask for what reason. "Why isn't the the food warmed up yet?"

Whose: This is when you are asking if something belongs to someone. "Whose pencil does this belong to?"

Now, when you do the answers, look for the things that the relative pronouns are referring to. For example: "when" is talking about time. So, you look at answers that refer to a certain time. This works for #2. "The moment when..."

"Moment" is a unit of time, so it works for "when."

I'll go over #1 also.

"This is a restaurant..." OK, so we know that "restaurant is a place. So, that rules out when, which is time, who, which is people, which, which is different things, why, which is a reason, and whose, which is belonging to.

This works for "where." It is talking about where this restaurant is.

Those word are in John 14:6 (Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.) The meaning is that only through Jesus's death we can aproach God, "the truth"- the prophecies arrived in the person of Jesus, and the life because he gave his life to gain our life.

These three sentences are all correct, because even if the verb tense shifts it still makes sense within the context of the situation.
