2 answers:

8 0

The answers are as follows:

Question 1: C. Since you don’t have it.
"Since you don't have it." is an example of a dependent clause and is considered a sentence fragment without an independent clause to connect to.

Question 5: B. leaves a thought unfinished
A dependent clause leaves a thought unfinished and again, must be joined with an independent clause. Most of the time, dependent clauses begin with subordinating conjunctions such as: after, before, since.

Question 6: A. My computer hates me I really think it does.
Letter A is an example of a run-on sentence since it involves two independent clauses that have no proper conjunction to connect them.The two independent clauses are: "My computer hates me." & "I really think it does."

Question 7: C. a writing error
Run-on sentences are generally considered errors. However, certain authors intentionally use them as 'stylistic' errors to add flavor to their work.

Question 8: A. contains a subject and a verb and makes sense on its own
An independent clause contains a subject and a verb and makes sense on its own. An example would be, "Sam feels sad." Not only can independent clauses stand on their own, they are also the lacking ingredient for dependent clauses to become complete. For instance, "Since it is Monday, Sam feels sad."

Question 9: C. can be used to combine two independent clauses correctly
A comma can be used along with a proper conjunction to link two independent clauses. An example is, "Today is Monday, and Sam is sad."

Question 10: A.make sense on its own
It has been reiterated here many time that independent clauses can stand on their own.

Thank you for posting your question. I hope my answers have been helpful. Feel free to ask me more!

Which word describes Old Kaspar's attitude, in "The Battle of Blenheim," about the human skull his grandchildren find?

garri49 [273]

The history of English is conventionally, if perhaps too neatly, divided into three periods usually called Old English (or Anglo-Saxon), Middle English, and Modern English. The earliest period begins with the migration of certain Germanic tribes from the continent to Britain in the fifth century A.D., though no records of their language survive from before the seventh century, and it continues until the end of the eleventh century or a bit later. By that time Latin, Old Norse (the language of the Viking invaders), and especially the Anglo-Norman French of the dominant class after the Norman Conquest in 1066 had begun to have a substantial impact on the lexicon, and the well-developed inflectional system that typifies the grammar of Old English had begun to break down. The following brief sample of Old English prose illustrates several of the significant ways in which change has so transformed English that we must look carefully to find points of resemblance between the language of the tenth century and our own. It is taken from Aelfric's "Homily on St. Gregory the Great" and concerns the famous story of how that pope came to send missionaries to convert the Anglo-Saxons to Christianity after seeing Anglo-Saxon boys for sale as slaves in Rome:
