<span>Superstitious people might do many odd things because they believe in luck, or bad luck. So, they may retrace their steps if a black cat crosses their path, they may not want to walk under a ladder because it is sad to bring bad luck, they may be scared when their mirror cracks because it is believed to bring 7 years of bad luck. They may do many things to get out of a possible bad situation, or induce a good thing to happen to them.</span>

Superstitious people might do many odd things because they believe in luck, or bad luck. So, they may retrace their steps if a black cat crosses their path, they may not want to walk under a ladder because it is sad to bring bad luck, they may be scared when their mirror cracks because it is believed to bring 7 years of bad luck. They may do many things to get out of a possible bad situation, or induce a good thing to happen to them.

Explanation:

Superstition means thinking in triumph - they might have a serendipitous rabbit's foot or a phobia of the number 13 or regret to walk under a stairway or cross their pointers for luck. Superstition is a view not based on logic. It is sometimes associated to luck or fate. Some irrationalities are: Break a mirror seven times of bad luck. Always hold your breathing when crossing a graveyard Lift your hands when going under a train bridge and there is a train on the bridge. Step on a split, break your mothers back.

6. Use the following passage to answer the question. (1) Water is something most of us take for granted. (2) If we need a cold d
Phoenix [80]
The correct answer is A.

The sentence should be written like this: <span>Sadly, even after that water is found, only some of it's clean and safe enough to drink.

Because the sentence is saying "only some of IT IS clean and safe enough to drink," an apostrophe should be used.

Match each sentence with the function of the noun clause in bold.
suter [353]

1. What I saw in the closet left me speechless. = subject


Here, the noun clause is <em>What I saw in the closet. </em>This clause is used as the subject of the sentence. So, you can replace the entire clause with one simple word - <em>he. </em>For example: <em>He left me speechless. </em>This way you can easily determine that the first word (or rather the entire clause in the example above) is the subject.


2. When I was six, I learned how to swim. = direct object


The noun clause here is <em>How to swim. </em>Even though this may look like an adverbial clause, it is not because it has the function of a direct object (which only noun clauses can). You can easily determine that this is a direct object by asking the question - <em>what? </em>For example: <em>What did I learn when I was six? </em>And the answer is: <em>How to swim. </em>This way you know it is an object.


3. I was caught between what my conscience was telling me and what I wanted to do. = object of a preposition


Here, the noun clauses are <em>What my conscience was telling me and what I wanted to do. </em>They are objects, but not regular objects (like in sentence 2 above). Given that they are located after the preposition <em>between, </em>they are called object of a preposition.


4. The scary movie I watched is what kept me awake that night. = predicative nominative


Predicative nominative is a word, phrase, or an entire clause following a linking verb (such as to be, to seem, etc.). In the example above, the linking verb is <em>IS, </em>and the clause following it <em>What kept me awake that night </em>is the predicative nominative.
