The correct answer is C. Melanie was riding her bicycle all afternoon.

Explanation:

In grammar, the past progressive tense is a type of tense that refers to an action that occurred in past but was in progress during a specific time, this tense is used to show one action that was occurring and then this was interrupted by other or because the action described did not end immediately. Because of this, in sentences that use past progressive tense, the verb is formed by the word was/were depending on the subject and a verb ending in -ing or present participle. Therefore, the sentence that uses past progressive tense is "Melanie was riding her bicycle all afternoon" because this is the only sentence in which the verb is formed by the word "was" followed by a present participle "riding", also this sentence describes an action that did not end immediately in the past.

The authors argument is that volunteering helps many people, not just those being directly benefited in visible ways. The author uses statistics from a study to support his/her argument.
So take this^ and add lots of info and textual support to create at least 8-10 sentences.

Choose the sentence with the correct punctuation. a I studied for my quiz, I earned an A. b I studied for my quiz; I earned an A
Nady [450]

Answer:

I studied for my quiz; I earned an A

Explanation:

In a sentence, a semicolon is used to link two independent clauses that are closely related . Hence, it is used to join two or more parts in a sentence.

If we look at the sentence above, we will notice that there are two independent clauses in the sentence which are 'I studied for my quiz' and 'I earned an A' . The correct punctuation mark to use here is the semicolon. Hence the answer chosen.
