Answer 2

Answer:

1. Compound sentence

2. sang

3. will have cleaned

4. is listening

5. have taught

Explanation:

1. We are given the following sentence and we are to determine whether it is a compound sentence, a run-on sentence, or a sentence fragment:

Caroline would like to go to the amusement park with them, but she hasn't finished her chores.

This is a compound sentence because it has two independent clauses which are joined by using a conjunction 'but'.

2. Gavin __________ ballads and folk songs with his relatives.

Second form will complete the sentence correctly which is sang.

3. By the time they arrive tomorrow morning, we __________ the entire house.

'will have cleaned' will complete the sentence correctly.

4. While Ken is listening to his new compact disc, Hannah __________ to a French tape.

'is listening' will complete the sentence correctly because present tense is being used.

5. We __________ the children plenty for one day; let’s give them a break tomorrow.

'have taught' will complete the sentence correctly.
