Allen could feel the sweat pouring off his body as he glanced at the clock. The noise in the gym was deafening and it felt as if

he was dribbling in slow motion. But he knew he had to make the shot. At the buzzer, he jumped up and released the ball from his fingertips, and the crowd held its breath as they watched it spin around and around the rim. Finally the ball dropped through the net and the Stallion fans cheered wildly.
Which provides the BEST conclusion to this narrative paragraph?
A) He had won the game for his team.
B) The opposing team was disappointed.
C) The next game would be even tougher.
D) Basketball is Allen's favorite sport.

If I had intended to buy the car. Is it incomplete, simple or complete, simple or simple, complex or complete, complex or incomp
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

This is an incomplete sentence.

Explanation:

Complete sentence has both subject and predicate. Subject is the person who is performing the action and predicate usually contains the verb and the rest part of the sentence. It has complete meaning or makes sense. Incomplete sentence would have either of the two missing.

The given phrase "If I had intended to buy the car" is an incomplete sentence. There should be a second part or predicate of the sentence as well. For example: what would have happened or what would be done, "If I had intended to buy the car". It only mentions the subject part of the sentence.

In 1975, about one-third of American mothers with young
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

The sentence that paraphrases the source information correctly is B. The number of American mothers working outside the home has  doubled since 1975 (Schlosser 4).

Explanation:

A paraphrase consists of rewording something that was said by someone else. That is, we say the exact same thing but with different words. We must remember to give due credit to the original speaker or writer of the passage we are paraphrasing.

In the case we are studying here, we can easily eliminate A, C, and D. They are not attempting to paraphrase, but to quote. Quotes maintain the original words and structures used by the speaker/author. In letter D, they have tried to pretend to be paraphrasing by not using quotation marks and by changing the spelling of numbers. Still, the sentences are the same, nothing has changed.

The only option that truly paraphrases the source information is letter D. It offers the same facts with fewer and different words. It mentions the original author, but does not copy his words. Thus, we can safely choose letter B as our answer.
