The Thinking Machine was the creation of American novelist Jacques Futrelle, one of numerous 'detective' characters inspired during the early Twentieth Century by the popularity of Arthur Conan Doyle's master detective, Sherlock Holmes. The Thinking Machine was the nickname of Professor Augustus S.F.X. Van Dusen, a scientist turned armchair detective, who possesses a peculiar and unemotional personality - and a massive intellect - that he applies in a most logical manner to solving crimes, always assisted by an investigative reporter.

Only the industrious prosper in life - change this sentence into negative
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

There are two ways which we can use to change the sentence from affirmative to negative:

1. Not only the industrious prosper in life.

2. Only the industrious do not prosper in life.

Explanation:

1. If we choose to make the negative this way, the meaning we will convey is that industrious people prosper, but they are not the only ones. Other people can prosper too.

2. On the other hand, if we negate this way, we will completely deny the original affirmation. We will be saying that everyone else prospers in life excerpt for industrious people.

Both ways are grammatically correct, even though they convey different meanings.

Which statement is true about independent clauses? They are connected by a coordinating conjunction. They have a subject but do
Natasha_Volkova [10]
Well, let's see... I don't know what a coordinating conjunction is off the top of my head, but I know B isn't the answer, since 'independent' means 'highly capable of handling oneself'. C <em>certainly</em> isn't the answer, simply because you can see by this answer they obviously do combine with a dependent clause from time to time. That leaves us with D and A, which both leave the same term. However, I do believe I can use the word preceding <em>conjunction</em>, which is <em>coordinating</em>, to realize that 'and,' 'but,' and 'or' are coordinating conjunctions. Seriously, D cannot be the answer because not every sentence starts with any of those. So your answer is A.
