3. LOS ANGELES, June 5 - Pound for pound, the New Jersey Nets are no competition for the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA Finals. I

n many ways, it's like matching Lennox Lewis, the heavyweight boxer, against Jerry Lewis, the comic actor. However, for the sake of basketball, it's a relief that the Nets themselves aren't buying any of the negative press. I still don't know if the Nets have enough to upset the Lakers and win this series. But after Wednesday, I do believe they can make it a series. I get the overwhelming sense the Nets feel the same away. After a dreadful first quarter Wednesday night inside Staples Center, the Nets calmed themselves and came after L.A. They were not in awe. They did not bow down. Instead, they sharpened their focus, capitalized on the Lakers' erratic play and made it a game. "Now that our guys got the first-quarter jitters out of the way," Nets coach Byron Scott said, "maybe this will be a better series than a lot of people thought it would be." What is the controlling idea of this article?

Read the sentence. Determine if the appositive is restrictive or nonrestrictive based on punctuation. My dog Zeus won at the cou
bulgar [2K]

The speaker owns more than one dog, because Zeus is a restrictive appositive. This can be concluded about Zeus

An appositive noun or phrase is restrictive if it narrows the word it modifies. It says which of the nouns you are writing about. A restrictive appositive noun or phrase is necessary for the meaning of the sentence.

Here is the example of restrictive appositive:

  • My best friend John loves eating burgers and pizzas

Hence, the correct answer is The speaker owns more than one dog, because Zeus is a restrictive appositive.

Have to(suggesting obligation to attend a seminar)
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer: You have to attend a seminar.

Explanation:

'Have to' is used to express general obligations, duties, or necessities (as opposed to 'must', which expresses specific obligations) in the present, the future, or the past. In the future or the past, 'must' and 'need' are always replaced by 'have to'.

Yet, in the negative form, 'don't have to' means there´s no obligation or necessity, but it can be done. ('You don't have to cook' means you can still do it if you fancy to).
