<span>The correct answers are: 1)4 Mom doesn't know is the subject or main clause, in the kitchen isn't a clause as it lacks a verb and a subject, the 4rth choice is the most complete one. 2)1 It can't be the object since "That she read the assignment" is the "subject" of the verb itself, but it isn't the proper subject because the true subject is "Kam's choice"; it is an appositive clause related to the subject. 3)A the verb is a nominal predicative, thus technically it would be a direct object, but most grammar quizzes or books won't consider it as such. The most correct answer would therefore be A, because reversing the sentence this role would be possible.</span>
When reading this excerpt I understood authors intentions, I bet, in full measure. As he mentioned - the war is murder, thousands of people fighting for particular idea and nothing can't stop them, neither moral issues nor ethical rules. All these people are guilties of a global crime and author at any price will not support such events. Unlikely that all of these people will be punished for their mistakes or sins they have made, but if we will talk about regular crime, such as author described in the text - this actions must be sentenced to justice.
So I choose this option :
<span>B.Paine says that war is terrible, and ordinarily nothing could have convinced him to support it. However, he also believes that if a person or group commits severe crimes against him, that party should be punished, no matter who they are.</span>
Answer:
The St. Louis Cardinals have a rich history of success, although their offense this year was awful.
Explanation:
The two sentences are expressing contrasting ideas. The first sentence offers a type of compliment to the St. Louis Cardinals. If they have a rich history of success, however, we would not expect the criticism that comes in the second sentence. We are surprised to hear that their offense was awful this year.
<u>To help express such contrast and, at the same time, make the second sentence a subordinate clause, we should choose an appropriate subordinating conjunction. The conjunctions that can help us do that are "though", "even though", and "although", among others. Therefore:</u>
The St. Louis Cardinals have a rich history of success, although their offense this year was awful.
NOTE: We may be tempted to use "but" instead of "although". We need to keep in mind that "but" is a coordinating conjunction, not a subordinating one. That is why it cannot be used here.
