1.) both A and D are technically phrases that modify the subject since both use the pronoun "his" which is referring to "Jerome"(subject). I think the more likely to be
D since the phrase is more obvious because it's a prepositional phrase instead of a gerund.
2.) the answer is C because it contsins a subject(show), a verb(let), but begins with a suboordinatin conjunction (after) which means the clause needs an independent clause in order to support it. The rest of the of the
options are phrases, and C could easily be mistaken as a phase considering it starts with "after" which is a preposition. However, because the remark contains a subject and a verb, the word "after" becomes a suboordinating conjunction instead of a preposition.
3.) D is correct because it contains a single independent clause (it was time to get out the sweaters) along with at least one dependent clause (When the birds flew south for the winter).
4.) C is correct because it contains a single independent clause (Andrea could not open the mailbox) along with at least one dependent clause (Since she forgot the key to the lock).
yey
The correct answer is - B. It is a possessive pronoun that takes the place of a noun.
Let's go through all of these options first.
A - there are no prepositions in this sentence, so 'yours' cannot be the object of a preposition.
C - the subject of this sentence is the pronoun 'I' because it is the doer of the action
D - it is not a personal pronoun; personal pronouns are I, you, he/she/it, we, you, and they.
Therefore, the correct answer is only B - it is a possessive pronoun because it shows that the pronoun 'you' is the owner of the skateboard that the subject likes more.
I just dropped a pencil on the ground. dropped being the verb.
The passage lists a few things which would lend towards the idea of him being a monster. First, it says "god's anger bare he." referring, presumably, to the abrahamic god famous for his wrath, showing that Grendel was exhibiting intense rage. Second, it uses the sentence "The monster intended some one of earthmen in the hall-building grand to entrap and make way with" which, while a written a little backwards by today's grammar rules, says that he is planning to take hold of and kidnap some of the men in the hall, something only a monster could do.<span />
