The main idea is the basic summary of what the whole text is about. However, since we can't personally read the passage, I can't tell you the exact main idea. But just read it and then think about what it was about! Then you got it!
The Catcher in the Rye was written by<em> J.D. Salinger in 1951</em>. The story is about an angry teenage boy named Holden Caulfield, who tells the story about his adventures before Christmas. Even though it isn't specified in the book it is implied that he is living in a mental facility.
Answer:
Holden would allow their relatives to visit on holidays. He would let his brother visit for a while if he wanted a quite place for his writing, but he wouldn't be able to write any movies only stories and books. Holden disapproved the fact that his veteran older brother liked to write movies. <em>Nobody could do anything</em><u><em> phony</em></u><em> when they visited him. </em>If they did anything phony they would have to go. He uses the word <em>phony</em> to describe a hypocrite and fake society.
Answer:
The answer is: a subject, a verb, and a complete thought
Explanation:
Independent clause is a type of clause that can stand alone and still have a meaning.
<u><em>I like chocolate</em></u> that is made in Switzerland. - this sentence consists of two clauses. The underlined clause is the independent one, we see that it can function as a sentence even without the dependent clause.
Its essential parts are subject, verb (predicate) and a complete thought. It also can contain objects, adverbials... but they are not a must.
Answer:
B.
Explanation:
Spot sounds like a firefighting dog.
One way to fix that sentence is to switch around the two phrases used; 'My mother and father are both scientists' and 'It must have been my destiny to become interested in biology.'
It must have been my destiny to spark an interest in Biology, as my mother and father are both scientists.
That's a way to fix that sentence used in your question.
Also, 'destiny' was spelled incorrectly.
This sentence may seem run on if you don't place a conjunction between the two phrases, or if the phrases are not switched.
If the sentence is to be used with a conjunction, it may end up like this....
My mother and father are both scientists, so it must have been my destiny to become interested in biology.
Or, you may just use a period, to change the two phrases used into two separate sentences.
Like this;
My mother and father are both scientists. For that reason, it must have been my destiny to become interested in biology.
ALSO, as you can see above, I have added a few words to the last sentence. Those three words, 'For that reason', give closure to the two sentences.
Hope this helped!
