Maurice watched his grandfather typing furiously on a typewriter and mumbling to himself. He couldn't resist sneaking behind him

and breaking his concentration.
"Hey, Grandpa, what are you working on today?" Maurice asked.

"Oh, nothing special. Go watch that little TV you carry in your pocket."

"It's a cell phone, Gramps," Maurice said with a laugh.

"Whatever you call it. You can go back to it and not bother with me." His grandfather tried to wave him off, but Maurice pulled up a chair and sat next to him.

"Come on, Gramps, let me have a peek. I promise, I won't disturb you." Maurice bent over to read the letters on the sheet of paper coming from the typewriter. The machine always puzzled him. He knew what it did, but he couldn’t understand why his grandfather stuck to this old thing instead of using a computer.

Maurice spoke up after a few minutes. "Gramps, you know this will be a lot easier to type if you use my laptop. You don’t have to worry about making any errors, and you don’t have to put in another paper every time you reach the bottom of the page. And no more of those messy black ribbons, either."

"That's the problem with you kids. You want everything the easy way," his grandfather replied, shrugging off the boy's questions.

Serggg [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

Remark

The problem is where. Photosynthesis is not a location. It is a process plants use to provide food for themselves. I'm not a biologist, but this how I imagine the sentence could be corrected.

<em>Answer</em><em>: </em><em>Photosynthesis is the process by which plants  transform the environmental elements of sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water into needed carbohydrates. This process is accomplished by the green pigment in the plant identified as the chemical chlorophyll. </em>

<em />

I think I've fixed the problem, but I've made the thought more complex by simplifying it, if that makes any sense. If someone else answers this, I'd likely take that answer. Anyway, what I've written does fix the problem.

Rewrite each statement as a cleft sentence. Follow the example. Use contractions when possible. Example: 1. I don't like a manag
Vinvika [58]

Answer and Explanation:

Cleft sentences are used to connect something previously understood to new information or to emphasize something by placing it in a different clause. When we use this type of structure, we are basically dividing a piece of information into two clauses. It is common to use <em>it</em> or <em>wh-</em> words to form the cleft sentence.

1. I don't like a manager who acts like a tyrant. = What I don't like is a manager who acts like a tyrant.

2. We're looking for someone who is a team player. - What we are looking for is someone who is a team player.

3. He would prefer to walk to the theater. - What he would prefer is to walk to the theater.

4. She wrote the most popular mystery novel of the year. - It was she who wrote the most popular mystery novel of the year. / What she wrote was the most popular mystery novel of the year.

5. We saw the most dangerous snake in the world. - What we saw was the most dangerous snake in the world. / It was the most dangerous snake in the world that we saw.

6. She had a terrible case of the flu. - What she had was a terrible case of the flu.

7. I don't understand why someone took my headphones. - What I don't understand is why someone took my headphones.
