Answer:

A. That ancient land was located in the Middle East, a hot and sunny part of the world.

Explanation:

Options B through D simply do not make any sense. They overuse words, and are far too long. Sentence 2 starts off with "That ancient land was located in the Middle East." So it would make sense to start the revised sentence that way. Add "The Middle East" to sentence 1, and there you go.

Answer:

A. That ancient land was located in the Middle East, a hot and sunny part of the world.

Explanation:

It is grammatically correct and gets rid of the wordiness of two sentences.

Why the other choices are not as good:

B. That ancient land was located in the Middle East, and the Middle East is a hot and sunny part of the world.

This is basically the same as the original: there is nothing grammatically incorrect, but it is just too wordy.

C. A hot and sunny part of the world is the ancient land the Middle East.

This sentence changes it such that the focus is no longer on the ancient land or Middle East and rather on the "hot and sunny part".

D. Located in the Middle East, a hot and sunny part of the world, that ancient land.

This sentence is grammatically incorrect, because it has only a dependent clause.

Anika [276]

Answer:

The approximate total number of recent cases between these two sources is 30.

This article comes from one of the very well respected fact-checking groups, Politifact. When Governor Abbott's long standing support for the prevalence of voter fraud was directly challenged by President Obama during a visit to Austin, the governor responded strongly. When Governor Abbott used the adjective "rampant," this triggered many different media outlets to search for supporting evidence. When Politifact went knocking on doors in the state government for supporting facts behind the governor's statement, the governor chose not to reply, but the state attorney general's office provided some numbers on voter fraud cases. Politifact also found some data in a Heritage Foundation report, one that should be favorable to the governor's position since it is a very conservative policy think tank.

Select whether the sentence below is a simple, compound, complex or compound-complex sentence.
TiliK225 [7]
Hi! The sentence you gave is a complex sentence. For a sentence to be compound, it should contain multiple subjects or predicate. On the other hand, for it to be complex, a subordinate clause must be present.

We can notice that the clause "that were built under the city" is a clause that cannot stand alone thus this will tell us that the sentence is complex.

ANSWER: D. Complex
