Answer:

<em>The children were at play, pretending to be knights with their tin foil lances.</em>

Explanation:

The word play's definitions include:

1. verb. engage in activity for enjoyment and recreation rather than a serious or practical purpose.

2. verb. take part in (a sport).

3. noun. activity engaged in for enjoyment and recreation, especially by children.

4. noun. the conducting of an athletic match or contest.

'I like to play soccer with my friends.'

In this sentence, 'play' is being used as taking part of a sport, which is definition 2. Now, all you need to do is take another definition and write a sentence with it used in a different context.

'The children were at play, pretending to be knights with their tin foil lances.'

The second part is to include context clues to help the reader determine which definition of 'play' is being used. I'm using the third definition in this sentence, but you can use a different one. I could just leave the sentence without the dependent clause, 'The children were at play.', but it leaves much unclear about what the children were doing. 'pretending to be knights with their tin foil lances.' is just clarification.

This helps the reader determine the correct definition. First, you can determine that play is being used as a noun because of the 'at' in front of it. 'The children were at play'. The dependent clause tells you what exactly the children are doing, pretending to be knights. Pretending is not a sport, so by the process of elimination, you can establish that the third definition is the correct one.

<em>Best of luck</em>

Insert appropriate form of the verb at this very moment , the international space station _____ ( orbit ) Earth at distance of 2
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

At this very moment, the International Space Station orbits Earth at a distance of 240 miles.

Explanation:

We use the simple present tense when we talk about actions that happen often, habitual actions, or truths that usually do not change or that take some time to change. For example: I sleep at 10 in the evening. / Dogs bark and birds fly. / Dora lives in Spain.

Therefore, since the orbit of the International Space Station is a truth that will most likely take long to change, it seems best to use the simple present to complete the sentence. Since the subject is third-person singular, we must add -s to the verb:

- At this very moment, the International Space Station orbits Earth at a distance of 240 miles.

Note: Another possibility would be the use of the present continuous: "is orbiting". However, that makes it seem this is just a temporary action that will, at any moment, change.

Read the paragraph.
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

C). Sentence 3 should be revised to read, "My next stop will be old Mr. Butterworth's for a ch-at with my favorite neighbor."

Explanation:

As per the question, the revision must be made to the third sentence in order to continue the parallel structure as it follows the similar sentence structure of the previous sentences i.e. 'will be' (future tense). The use of the same or repeated grammatical structures in consecutive sentences gives equal significance to every idea and makes it more effective and memorable while adding a flow to it. It also assists in making the ideas easier to understand by adding an order to the ideas. Thus, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.
