What type of verbal appears in the sentence?
zaharov [31]
This is an 'adverb infinitive'. It is not a participle, either present of past, because it doesn't end in -ing. And it is not an 'adjective infinitive' since its meaning is adverbial, 'you must capture or trap the other king' IN ORDER 'to win a game of chess'. Adjective has to modify a noun, which isn't the case in this sentence.

borishaifa [10]

The name Alcatraz is gotten from the Spanish "Alcatraces." In 1775, the Spanish pilgrim Juan Manuel de Ayala was quick to cruise into what is presently known as San Francisco Bay - his undertaking planned the narrows and named one of the three islands Alcatraces. The Sioux demonstrators think it was fair to buy the entire island for only $9. 40 Correct answer is option D  i.e. It was the amount the government had paid.

<h3>What is the The Spirit of Alcatraz is about ?</h3>

The Spirit of Alcatraz  is a straightforwardly expressed, unequivocal, reply from the text. The text says The little gathering of Sioux demonstrators proposed to pay the US government $9.40 for the island, or 47 pennies for every section of land a similar sum the public authority was paying was paying to utilize ancestral terrains.

This lets us know that they imagined that it was not out of the question that since the public authority wasn't paying them much, that they accepted they merited a similar civility.

Therefore, correct answer is option D.

Which analysis of the passage is correct? 1. it contains two compound sentences and one complex sentence
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

It contains two compound sentences and one complex sentence.

Explanation:

The passage you were given is the following:

All the students signed a petition, but they still needed the faculty's permission to start the club. The students came to the next faculty meeting, and they presented a solid argument. All of their hard work paid off because the students won their campaign.

The options you were given are:

  • It contains two compound sentences and one complex sentence.
  • It contains one compound sentence and two complex sentences.
  • It contains three compound sentences.
  • It contains three complex sentences.

An independent clause is a clause that can stand alone as a sentence. Every sentence must contain a subject and predicate and express a complete thought. Unlike independent clauses, dependent clauses can't stand alone because they lack at least one of these elements.

A compound sentence is a sentence that consists of at least two independent clauses connected by a comma, conjunction, or semicolon.

A complex sentence is a sentence that consists of one independent clause and at least one dependent clause.

Based on this information, we can conclude that the given passage contains two compound sentences and one complex sentence. The first two sentences are compound sentences. Each of them consists of two independent clauses. The third one is a complex sentence that consists of one independent and one dependent clause.
