Answer:

by choosing to end the sentence in a preposition

Explanation:

Formal language can be seen with the use of "on which", changing the position of preposition "on" by moving it to the end of the sentence with the relative pronoun "which" omitted changes it to informal English.

"Mr. Richardson is shopping for the perfect shelf on which to display his bowling trophy."

would change to

"Mr. Richardson is shopping for the perfect shelf to display his bowling trophy on."

Novay_Z [31]
Question:
Which word is an interjection? Well, I think we should wait ten more minutes for the bus. A. Well B. for C. more D. think


Answer: an interjection is an exclamation, especially as a part of speech, e.g., ah! or dear me!

How is A correct:

A is correct because Well! is like AH! or DEAR ME! it is using exclamation marks, but an interjection doesn't need an exclamation mark to be an interjection, for never needs an exclamation mark, you would find out if the word or phrase requires one or not.
