Question

Dekanawidah wrote the Iroquois Constitution. The document included rules and regulations that related to all different areas of Iroquois life. It described important rituals. Leaders from the Five Nations signed the Constitution. A sixth nation later joined the Confederacy in the early 1700s. Which statement best describes this paragraph? The paragraph contains sentence variety. The sentences in the paragraph are structured similarly. The paragraph contains sentence fragments. The sentences in the paragraph are complex.

Answer 1

Answer:

The option that best describes this paragraph is B) the sentences in the paragraph are structured similarly.

Explanation:

Most of the sentences in the paragraph we are analyzing here are simple sentences. That is, they are independent sentences that have a subject and a predicate, and express a complete idea on their own. The one exception would be the longer sentence "The document included rules and regulations that related to all different areas of Iroquois life," which has a a relative clause introduced by the relative pronoun "that", modifying the nouns "rules" and "regulations". As we can see, the paragraph does not present a variety of types of sentences. It also does not present sentence fragments, since the sentences, even though simple, are all complete in their structural elements.

Answer 2

The Answer is B.) The sentences in the paragraph are structured similarly.
