A complete predicate must start with a verb. 'The first day of the semester' is a complete subject. It is WHAT the sentence would be about. "With the new books and schedules in hand" is a prepositional phrase, which simply adds information to a sentence. "Because of the slamming of the lockers and the shouts of the students" is an introductory clause. "Could not be heard above the voices in the hallway" is the only complete predicate.
Answer: Excuse me, but where are the sentences?
Answer:
The author loves paper maps. He thinks they are irreplaceable and the while GPS is a good thing, it can never replace paper maps for him. He loves the experience of going to bookstores to find the maps for the countries he's going to visit, although he acknowledges that there are fewer of them and it's much more difficult to find them than before due to technology.
He loves the camaraderie aspect of the trip while using paper maps. This is what he states in his article:
<em>Using printed maps requires travelers to work together. You become a team. Driver and navigator. Your ability to get along and solve problems is tested in valuable, revealing ways. </em>
He also states that paper maps make you more aware of your surroundings, thus making the entire experience of traveling more enjoyable.
<em>Driving by map, on the other hand, engages you actively with your surroundings. It makes you observe road signs, be in the moment. And that closer engagement, I’ve found, imprints the landscape more vividly and permanently on your mind. When I return home, I can unfold my maps and take myself back to a town or a stretch of highway.</em>
As you can see, the man clearly loves his maps.
Answer: 1. I have chores that I have to do at home. These included keeping my room clean and helping with yard work and I also help in others areas of the house when needed like helping set the table for diner or cleaning it off. I balance this with my school work by usually saving the larger jobs for the weekends or getting them done right away as soon as I get home so I have time to get my homework done.
2. School work is easy to get done when you listen to music or sometimes I might put a movie or a show on and watch a little of it as a reward when I read through a section or get so many problems that I need done. I set a goal and use it as a reward system. This helps me stay on task but often times I find that just listening to music really helps me get my homework done.
3. I start my day off pretty early because school is my number one priority right now. I like to get a shower when I can, brush my teeth, and feel clean. But, when it is the weekend I do like to sleep in a little bit.
4. Yeah, I do have a routine. I try to find my favorite tune to listen to and I usually go to a spot in my house where I can't be bothered. Sometimes If I need help though I will ask for it.
5. If there is a lot of homework I try and do what needs to be done first. If I can get anything quick out of the way I will generally go for that. It makes the most sense to do that. Reading long books or papers take the most time so I tend to save those for last or maybe even math problems.
6. I would like to think it is but sometimes it depends if I have a lot of homework or if I am stressing over a big assignment. Also, I stay up a little later on the weekends which probably doesn't help my schedule for the weekdays.
Explanation:
The best answer would be C. zeal. Zeal means enthusiasm for a cause which makes sense in this sentence.
Ire means anger, that doesn't fit. Neither does prodigy (meaning someone who is exceptional, especially at a young age), nor fete (meaning to entertain someone).
