Answer is A. Marco believes that cowboy boots are cool. He sees many people on the street wearing them and decides to buy a pair for himself.
Inductive reasoning is the opposite of deductive reasoning. On one side, deductive reasoning begins with a general statement or idea, then evaluates and analyses the chances to arrive to a logical conclusion. On the other, inductive reasoning creates wide generalizations based on particular observations. Basically, there is information, and then conclusions are made based on that information.
In the case of Marco, he makes a particular observation (many people wear boots on the street), and then arrives to a conclusion (he assumes that boots are cool), so he decides to go with that (he buys himself a pair of boots).
Answer:
economical so B
Explanation:
economical is the correct word for it
The best definition of an argumentative text is a text that supports a claim about a debatable topic using evidence as support.
<u>An argumentative text is a piece of writing in which the author presents a claim about a controversial topic and provides evidence to support it and, at the same time, to refute a counterclaim</u>. In other words, the author provides the reader with evidence such as statistics in order to present a counterargument as ineffective. Moreover, an argumentative essay is structured with an introduction, body paragraphs and a conclusion.
Sentence B is the correct option. When using "however" to write a compound sentence, we should write a semi-colon before and a comma after it. When "however" is used at the beginning of a sentence, we should write a comma following it.
B is a prepositional phrase as it contains a prepositon as the head (throughout) followed by an NP (nominal phrase) which functions as the object.
A, C and D are not phrases but sentences. Consequently, they are composed of two parts: a subject and a predicate. For example, in "but they never stopped", the personal pronoun "they" functions as the subject of the sentence, that is, it's what the sentence is about. The rest of the sentence is the predicate, it tells something about the subject.
A is grammatically incorrect as it stands for an incomplete sentence. It contains the subject (they) and a main verb functioning as the head of the verbal phrase but it does not have the subordinate clause which should followed after the verb for the sentence to be considered correct. On the contrary, D is gramatically correct for it is a complete sentence. However, it is not a prepositional phrase because it is not a phrase but a sentence. The pronoun "it" is the head of the phrase and it is not a preposition. The verbal phrase "was a happy time" stands for the predicate, making the sentence grammatically correct. Said VP (verbal phrase) takes a nominal phrase as the object ("a happy time").
To sum up, prepositional phrases are made up of a preposition functioning as the head and its object. It can also contain modifiers. They take a nominal phrase as the object. That is why B is the correct answer. "Throughout" is the head of the PP (prepositional phrase) taking the nominal phrase "his life" as the object.
