Circle the incorrect pronoun shift if the student feels ill they should be sent to the nurse

English
1 answer:
Mandarinka [93]3 years ago
4 0

   

   A pronoun shift is when you modify the pronoun in the same sentence, then the reader is not able to understand who is the subject of the sentence.

   In the exemplified sentence the pronoun inserted incorrectly is <u>they</u>, shifting the initially singular subject "The student" (pronouns he or she) to a plural pronominal form.

   When correcting, the writer must evaluate which is the desired pronoun, that fits his subject.:

<em>(Singular form) If the student feels ill, he/she should be sent to the nurse. </em>

<em>(Plural form) If the students feel ill, they should be sent to the nurse.</em>

   So, the pronoun shift that should be circled is They

The parentheses portion of the sentence is a ?
djyliett [7]

Answer: C. an independent clause (A. a coordinating conjunction) Explanation: Although nothing is underlined, I think the question stiil can be answered. But first, a quick revision. Independent clause is the one that conveys a complete thought and contains enough information to stand on its own. On the othet hand, dependent clause can only express a meaning if it is linked to an independent clause via the subordinating conjunction. In our sentence, both clauses, "The harsh wind scoured the scant remaining leaves from the trees" and "A desolate landscape remained in its wake" are independent clauses and as such they are linked together via a coordinating conjunction "and". So, if any of these two clauses is underlined then the correct answer is "independent clause". However, if the conjunction "and" is underlined, then the answer is "coordinating conjunction".

Question 1 - Why do plants grow?

Everything on Earth has a purpose. A plant's purpose is to help produce oxygen, and help keep us, and other species around the world alive. All species work together to help keep Earth in balance in life cycles, these cycles all connect to each other!

Question 2 -  How does a plant produce oxygen?

A plant produces oxygen by using a life cycle called photosynthesis. This life cycle starts with the plant, it absorbs energy from the sun, and turns it to its own sugar for energy. Using that energy to power the plant's chloroplast, it takes in carbon dioxide that we breath out, and comes out as oxygen all of this less than a few seconds.

Question 3 - What is in soil, that helps plants grow?

Soil has three main functions in a garden: to anchor plant roots, supply water and provide minerals. Plant roots take up nutrients and use them to grow and produce plants. The most fertile topsoil has a dark, rich color, indicating the presence of humus. Soil absorbs some of the rainwater that falls, holding it as a film surrounding each individual particle. A soil's water-holding capability varies by soil type, with heavy clay soils being the most water retentive and sandy soils being the most porous and draining quickly.

I hope this helps! I worked hard on it, sorry this is like a year late, but for all of you just looking it up now, here ya go! :)

Why did Spain fight France and England? Where do I find the answer
makkiz [27]
The Anglo-Spanish War, is what I’m assuming your asking about.

1585–1604 was when sporadic conflict between the lands of Spain and England that was never formally declared.

The war started by widely separated battles, and began with England's military expedition in 1585.

You can find the answer in public libraries since we’re also learning about the war.
