Hello. You forgot to enter the answer options. The options are:
A. They explain the importance of the cytoplasm to the process of photosynthesis.
B. They help the reader visualize how the cytoplasm functions like a factory.
C. They link how the cytoplasm and genome work together.
D. They compare cytoplasm’s role to a sailor on a ship.
Answer:
B. They help the reader visualize how the cytoplasm functions like a factory.
Explanation:
The phrases presented in the question above aim to show the reader how the functioning of the cytoplasm is ordered and harmonious, functioning as a factory that has all the regulatory sectors and with specific functions for its full functioning. The cell itself can be seen as a small factory and the cytoplasm is not left out, since it is extremely important for the functioning of the entire organism.
The words chosen to create meaningful dependent clauses are the following ones:
a) Although Marissa likes to bake, she doesn't like to cook (this conjunction is used to make the main statement in a sentence seem surprising)
b) I have an idea that I think you will like (the complementizer introduces the noun-complement clause attached to the noun "idea")
c) If we drive slowly, we will find it (the conjunction used to introduce a conditional clause)
d) French, which we also had last year, is my hardest subject (a relative pronoun, which in this case, introduces a non-essential relative clause)
The median would be 8, because that number is in the middle.
