D) "'It was worth at most only five hundred francs!'"

The way it is said with an exclamation point is they are surprised that it is worth that much.

Answer:

The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

The sentece from the short story "The Necklace" that causes surprise in the reader is the one that reveals that the borrowed necklace, which was supposed to be made of diamonds, was merely a replica.

This means that all of Mathilde's hard work to pay for the one she bought to replace the one she lost, was not necessary to begin with, since the original only costed five hundred francs.

Which statement is true about independent clauses? They are connected by a coordinating conjunction. They have a subject but do
Natasha_Volkova [10]
Well, let's see... I don't know what a coordinating conjunction is off the top of my head, but I know B isn't the answer, since 'independent' means 'highly capable of handling oneself'. C <em>certainly</em> isn't the answer, simply because you can see by this answer they obviously do combine with a dependent clause from time to time. That leaves us with D and A, which both leave the same term. However, I do believe I can use the word preceding <em>conjunction</em>, which is <em>coordinating</em>, to realize that 'and,' 'but,' and 'or' are coordinating conjunctions. Seriously, D cannot be the answer because not every sentence starts with any of those. So your answer is A.

If a word is a verb, What will the dictionary tell you about that word?
Elodia [21]

Answer:

Refer to the explanation.

Explanation:

Verbs are words that show an action (sing), occurrence (develop), or state of being (exist). Almost every sentence requires a verb. The basic form of a verb is known as its infinitive. The forms call, love, break, and go are all infinitives. Almost all verbs have two other important forms called participles.

- A verb is any member of a class of words that function as the main elements of predicates, that typically express action, state, or a relation between two things, and that may be inflected for tense, aspect, voice, mood, and to show agreement with their subject or object.
