Jlenok [28]3 years ago

The correct answer is:  [A]:  
________________________________________________________
                   "People will not get ahead if they do not study." 
________________________________________________________
Explanation:
________________________________________________________
Note that one (1) feature of an "adverb clause" is that an "adverb clause" must begin with a "subordinating conjunction".
________________________________________________________
The only answer choices provided that meet this criterion are:
________________________________________________________
 Choice:  [A]:  "People will not get ahead if they do not study." 

 In this sentence, there is a "subordinating conjunction"— which is—" if ".
________________________________________________________
Choice:  [C]:  " Because of the defensive driving lessons, I am probably a better driving today ".

In this sentence, there is a "subordinating conjunction"
— which is—"Because" .
________________________________________________________
Note the other criteria for "adverb clauses" — as follows:
________________________________________________________
1)  Adverb clauses are "modifiers". 

2)  Adverb clauses contain both a subject AND a verb.

3)  Adverb clauses, on their own, do not form complete sentences.
_______________________________________________________
Consider:  Choice:  [C]:  
_______________________________________________________
         "Because of the defensive driving lessons, I am probably a better driving today."
 
     →  Note:  Since the particular clause beings with the "subordinating conjunction—"Because" (in this case) — consider the phrase:
_______________________________________________________
    "Because of the defense driving lessons" ; 

→  This is NOT an "adverb clause".  An "adverb clause" must contain BOTH  a "noun" AND a "verb"— and this particular clause does NOT contain a "verb".

Rule out "Choice: [C] " .
___________________________________________________________
Consider:
 
"Choice:  [A]:  "People will not get ahead if they do not study." 

   →  <u>Note</u>:  Since the particular clause beings with the "subordinating conjunction"—" if " (in this case) — consider the phrase:
_______________________________________________________
     " if they do not study ." 
_______________________________________________________

→  Note the following:
_______________________________________________________
      1)  This clause contains BOTH a "noun" —which is:  "they" (a subject pronoun referring to "people");  AND a "verb" —which is: "do [not] study" .

      2)  This clause modifies "people" . 
 
      3)  This clause is a NOT a sentence if it stands alone.
___________________________________________________________
Thus;  this very answer choice:  "Answer choice:  [A]:
__________________________________________________________
       →    "People will not get ahead if they do not study." 
__________________________________________________________
               →  is the only sentence — 
                     (among the answer choices provided) — 
                     that:   1)   is an "adverb clause" ; AND:               
                     that:   2)    is the correct answer.

serious [3.7K]
1. A vegetarian is a person who doesn’t not eat meat, fish and sometimes other animal products for moral, religious or health reasons.
2. Vegetables are good because they don’t have cholesterol which can lead to cardiovascular disease. They also have many nutrients including potassium, fibre etc. They can help maintain healthy blood pressure.
3. Being a vegetarian helps the environment by reducing the amount of meat consumption and this can lead to more healthy growth of plants since there are less animals to eat them.
4. If the school forced students to eat more vegetables, this may be a violation against their human rights but it does help them gain their daily nutrients and helps them grow.
