The correct answer is D. The excerpt should be revised because it contains a dependent clause that leaves the writer's thought unfinished.

Because the endangered panthers in the forests need large, connected territories to roam.
This is a sentence fragment; sentences that begin with 'because' are typically sentence fragments, with a few exceptions (as you can see in the next sentence I wrote).

Because the sentence is grammatically incorrect, it needs to be revised. Therefore, the answer is either C or D. The only question is whether or not the sentence contains an independent clause or a dependent clause. An independent clause is a part of a sentence that can be a sentence on its own. For instance, in the sentence 'We should conserve nature, because the endangered panthers in the forests need large, connected territories to roam.', the independent clause is 'We should conserve nature' because it can stand on its own.

Because this excerpt is a fragment and therefore cannot stand on its own as a complete, grammatically correct sentence, it cannot be an independent clause. The correct answer is D, because the excerpt is a dependent clause and needs to be revised.

Hope this helps!

The Giver Chapters 6-9
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

1) Jonas instantly becomes different. He is someone who is respected but not one of them. He is more or less an outcast.

2)Asher is satisfied with the status quo. His small quirks are accepted and even celebrated by the Elders. He fits the narrow definition of "normality" in the community. Jonas questions the community and the rigid control wielded by the Elders. He evolves quickly past the status quo and has certain capabilities that no other child has.

3)Gabriel was too weak to be named and given to a family. Jonas' father fought to get Gabriel in the next batch of children instead of being released.

4)This is somewhat ironic considering the "sameness" of the community as a whole. The Elder is merely relating minor differences in personality of the kids. The Elders actually demand conformity for these kids and only give the illusion of diversity through the ceremony.

5)Jonas reviews the rules for his assignment, and he is unnerved about rule number six, which forbids him from taking any medication related to his training. Jonas remembers that the Chief Elder had mentioned that he would experience an extreme amount of pain.

Explanation:

Hope this helps :)
