The correct answer is D) There is no single topic sentence. a topic sentence is used to summarize what the writing is about, and there is no sentence that does that in this piece.
Answer:
The words that form the independent clause in the sentence "The movie, which we watched yesterday, was hilarious." are: The movie was hilarious.
Explanation:
There are two types of clauses:
- Independent clauses: they can stand on their own. That is to say, that they make sense when we read them. There is no need for extra information to understand the meaning.
- Dependent clauses: they can not stand on their own. In other words, they depend on another clause, which gives the necessary information to understand the meaning of the dependant clause.
Both types of clauses consist mainly of a subject and a verb, they are separated by commas, or they have subordinating conjunction at the beginning of the clause.
In this case, the clause between commas (which we watched yesterday) is the dependant clause. I can not fully understand the meaning of it when reading only that clause since information is missing. The clause The movie was hilarious is the independent clause because it can stand on its own.
A. He hates the old man would be correct.
I believe from what I see that every sentence has been turned from present tense to past tense. One example could be Number 5- Instead of, 'Peter is going to take the package later.", it could be in past tense, as in Peter already took the package- "Later, Peter took the package."
Hope this helped. Let me know if you have any more questions!
Answer:
A thesis statement makes a promise to the reader about the scope, purpose, and direction of the paper. It summarizes the conclusions that the writer has reached about the topic. A thesis statement is generally located near the end of the introduction.
Explanation:
The thesis statement has 3 main parts: the limited subject, the precise opinion, and the blueprint of reasons. The limited subject tells the reader exactly on what, or whom the article focuses. The precise opinion gives your answer to a question about the subject.
