Answer:

True, True, False, False, True

Explanation:

1. Restatement/synonym is one of the main types of context clues. 2. The meaning of many words can be inferred when one already knows the meaning of the roots and affixes that compose them. 3. While The Spy was the first to obtain wide recognition, William Hill Brown's The Power of Sympathy is considered to be the first American novel. 4. The statement before the semicolon is true, but the statement after the semicolon is false: adverb clauses in middle position should be enclosed by commas. 5. Split infinitives are advised only in certain situations, but should be mostly avoided.

Write 8 sentences about what you did over the summer holidays.
Paladinen [302]

I will assume that "found sentences" actually refers to "compound sentences".

Answer:

My family and I went to Brazil for the summer holidays. We stayed at a hotel in Rio de Janeiro, and we had a great time. <u>We weren’t able go to the beach on the first couple of days because it was raining. When the rain stopped, however, we couldn’t have enough of the beautiful ocean and light-colored sand.</u> At the beach, there are some “barracas” selling fresh shrimps, but we had to buy them sneakily. <u>Since my father is allergic, we did not want to tempt him into having some as well.</u> I tried to learn how to surf, but it is harder than I had imagined. I hope to go back in the future.

Explanation:

A complex sentence is formed by joining an independent clause and a dependent one. A dependent clause needs the independent one to give it context, so that it makes sense. It does not express a complete thought on its own.  The dependent clause is set off by a subordinating conjunction (since, because, when, etc.) The complex sentences in the answer above are all underlined.

A compound sentence is formed by joining two independent clauses connected by a coordinating conjunction - for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so.  The compound sentences int he answer above are all in bold.

Select an adult who is 30 years or older to interview. This person can be a parent, grandparent, neighbor, teacher, etc.
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

Slow and steady wins the race.

One man's trash is another man's treasure.

Penny wise, pound foolish.

Explanation:

I interviewed my grand father who is almost 65 years of age. He uses many phrases and saying whenever he is teaching us something. We learn alot from his experiences. My grandfather always says that slow and steady wins the race which means that going panic can make you loose the game.

He often says that one man trash is another man treasure and this is true as I have seen example from my own eyes. One can throw away the food in the garbage but beggars find food in the garbage and eat it to stay alive.

Penny wise pound foolish is the most used phrase by my grand father. He says that you can save pennies in the box but cannot save pound in the box. You look for the things that save few pennies but you spend pounds on other luxuries without thinking about its necessity.
