Which does the sentence contain?

1 answer:

7 0

This question is incomplete, since it is missing the sentence we are supposed to analyze. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

"To the best of our knowledge, he decided that his major would be acting." Which does the sentence contain?

a) a conjunction

b) a gerund

c) an infinitive

d) a participle

Answer:

The sentence contains letter b) a gerund.

Explanation:

Gerunds are formed by adding -ing to verbs, but they function like nouns in a sentence.

In "To the best of our knowledge, he decided that his major would be acting," we have the verb "be" functioning as a linking verb, connecting the subject "major" to a word or words that provide information about that it. That word providing information on the subject is the gerund "acting", which therefore functions as a subject complement in this sentence.

The clause who bought the coat is used as an adjective subordinate clause because it modifies the noun the man.

Answer:

a. The second sentence provides background for the first

Explanation:

According to the first sentence, research has proven that colorful and vivid advertisements helps to attract more people.

Additionally, the second statement says that marketers use various research studies to develop their advertisement.

The relationship between the two sentences is that the second sentence provides background for the first by explaining how the market research has helped.
