Robots on Earthby Jerry WestExplosions. Car chases. A man and woman, drenched in sweat,limping from a building as it crumbles to the ground, muster thelast of their strength to rescue humanity from its inevitableextinction at the cold, metal hands of humanoid creatures withartificial intelligence gone awry. For decades, books and movieshave dictated how we think of robots. Simply the word "robot" canbring to mind images of evil, mechanical creatures bent on takingover the world and wiping out every glimmer of humanity. Andyet, the truth of machines is dramatically different. Today's robotshold little in common with their villainous cousins from action-packed science fiction. Most robots have no interest in harmingthe human population at all; they exist to aid people in makinglife safer, healthier, and more productive. The main idea of thisparagraph is what most people think when they hear the wordrobot.

1. The correct answer is S-V-N.
S refers to subject, and if you take a look at the sentence, you will see that the subject IT comes first. It is then followed by V, which stands for verb. In this sentence, the verb is IS. The verb is followed by a noun phrase HYBRID CAR, which is a predicate nominative (a noun or phrase following a linking verb). Predicate nominatives are written as N.
2. The correct answer is S-V-A.
The layout of this sentence is similar to the first sentence. First, we have the subject (S) TRADITIONAL GAS-POWERED CARS, then we have the verb (V) ARE, which is later followed by an adjective phrase HARMFUL TO THE ENVIRONMENT. This phrase is a predicate adjective (an adjective or adjectival phrase following a linking verb), which is written as A.
3. The correct answer is S-V-O.
This is the most common structure of sentences in the English language. First, we have the subject HYBRIDS, then we have the verb PRODUCE, and then we have the direct object LESS POLLUTION, and later a phrase that we don't need to name. The object of a sentence is determined by asking the question What? (What do hybrids produce? - Less pollution), and it is written as O. IO stands for indirect object, which doesn't appear here.
Answer:
It was late on a Saturday when I took the biggest decision of my life: I agreed with a group of friends to a haunted house to "see what the thrill was all about".
I knew that if I told my Aunt Emelda, she would forbid me from going so I decided to sneak out and meet them at a rendezvous. We were four in number, Josh, Troy, Todd and me.
Josh brought a large torch and water, Troy came with a shovel, for what reason I did not know, Todd came with a camera, and me, well, I came with sandwiches in case we got hungry.
We entered the haunted house by half-past nine and immediately we step foot on the front porch, there was this eerie feeling we all had, but we were determined to see the end of it all, so we soldiered on.
Suddenly, the torch Josh was with went off and refused to turn on, and we began to hear a screeching sound like a cat scratching on the walls, we decided we had had enough and ran off. Todd was crying, Troy was screaming his head off, but me, well, that experience will linger on my mind for a long time.
In paragraph 2 the idea of idealism is naïvebut still it makes sense to his credo which down the years grew to have some cynicism.
Explanation:
The Credo has grown shorter in recent years—sometimes cynical, sometimes comical, and sometimes bland—but I keep working at it. Recently I set out to get the statement of personal belief down to one page in simple terms, fully understanding the naïve idealism that implied.
The whole credo of idealism has sense and over the years has grown into cynicism.
At the beginning of the paragraph he uses uppercase letters to put an extra emphasis to his point from the start. He does this by exaggerating that all that is needed to know is little things. He uses the phrase “graduate-school mountain” by trying to get the reader to understand that the highest level of learning is not needed to know about life and how to handle it, or what to do in it. As he wrote the list he wrote it as a child from kindergarten whose mind is still innocent but all those steps of life are well needed and enough to be happy.
