These sentences are split into clauses (parts of a sentence), and your assignment is to rewrite the sentences with different ways to connect the two clauses. The example connects the clauses in 3 ways: a comma and "and", a colon, and a period to totally split the clauses.
For the first question, your 3 sentences should be
"Ben ran a good race, and he came in second."
"Ben ran a good race: he came in second."
"Ben ran a good race. He came in second."
The next question:
"We applauded the actress, and she came out for a second bow."
"We applauded the actress: she came out for a second bow."
"We applauded the actress. She came out for a second bow."
Just do this for the next two, and you should be good!
Answer:
From-my-brain question
Explanation:
A question can be defined as a statement that begs or requires an answer, response or reply.
Generally, there are four (4) main types of question and these includes;
I. Rhetorical question.
II. Close-ended question.
III. Open-ended question.
IV. Between the lines question.
A from-my-brain question is a form of question that an individual can only answer in his or her head. Thus, it involves questioning one's intelligence and how a person would act in a particular situation.
Hence, the sentence "what would i do if i didnt know english?" is an example of a from-my-brain question.
