How is the sentence below best written?

English

Ostrovityanka [42]3 years ago

Answer:

The correct answer is <u>C</u>: If he loses the bet, Thomas will have to buy a new jersey for everyone on the team.

Explanation:

We use comma if the <em>if</em> clause appears at the beginning of the sentence.

A: This is not the correct answer as the period appears in the wrong position. We use the period to terminate a declarative sentence. Since this is a conditional sentence, we do not use periods to separate a conditional sentence, nor to interrupt the thought or meaning.

B:  A semicolon is unnecessary; we use a semicolon to link two independent sentences and to join at least two ideas with an equal position or ranking. In this case, we are missing some information from the first part, so we cannot use a semicolon, because the first sentence is incomplete and out of sense.

D: This is not the correct answer, because we do not use a comma if the <em>if </em>clause appears at the end of the sentence.

I think 1 is a full sentence, but I'm not too sure.
2 is a fragment, you can write something like "tom stepped from the boat after a rugged trip across the Atlantic"
3 is a full sentence, 4 is a fragment but I don't know really how to rewrite it.
5 is also a fragment and you could write something like "the cars hood, hot from the sun's ray burned to touch"

A line passes through (5, –4) and (–1, –4).Use the work below.equationWhat can you conclude about this line? Select all that app
Gala2k [10]

we can conclude that the line is a horizontal line because both points share the same y value.

since the line is horizontal and every point on that line will have a y value of -4, the equation is y=-4

finally, the slope of this line IS zero. this is because the line is a horizontal line and all horizontal lines have a slope of zero.

hope this helped!
