"Sparkling in the sunlight, Marcus looked at his new car". This is wrong. The correct version is: "The car's sparkling in the sunlight, Marcus looked at his new car".What has been bold typed stands for the subject of the  present participle, <em>sparkling</em>. This subject is realised by the genitive case and it is a different subject from the main sentence / clause. What sparks is the car not Marcus. " With a grin of appreciation, the car looked almost brand new." wrong. The correct version is: " Marcus , with a grin  of  appreciation on his face, noticed the car ; the car  looked almost brand new." The new version- elements in bold type - has turned into an idependent sentence / clause. Marcus is the one that wears a smile at noticing his brand new car. The semi colon stands for "since". "Grabbing the keys,  the car was ready for a road trip." This is wrong. The right version is  " Marcus' grabbing the keys ; the car was ready for a road trip". The subject of the present participle , <em>grabbing , </em>has to be provided since it is Marcus that grabs the key ,not the car. The semi-colon claims importance for it stands for <em>because.</em>

Answer:

D. end rhyme

Explanation:

Down by the salley gardens my love and I did meet;

She passed the salley gardens with little snow-white feet.

She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree;

But I, being young and foolish, with her would not agree.

In a field by the river my love and I did stand,

And on my leaning shoulder she laid her snow-white hand.

She bid me take life easy, as the grass grows on the weirs;

But I was young and foolish, and now am full of tears.

What word in Excerpt B has the same root word as
Nataly [62]

Answer:

The word that has the same root word as "intercept" is: interception.

The word part which is used to change the part of speech of the word intercept to the new part of speech is: -ion (suffix)

The part of speech this new form of the word is: noun

Explanation:

We can easily see that the words "intercept" in excerpt A and "interception" in excerpt B are very similar. What is the difference between them? Notice that "interception" has some extra letters: -ion. This is a suffix, that is, a group of letters added to a word with the purpose of changing it. While "intercept" is a verb, "interception" is a noun, precisely because of the addition of the suffix. "Interception" means the action of intercepting, that is, of preventing someone or something that is moving toward a destination.
