1 answer:

6 0

A. The error is the use of 'because' in a separate sentence. The conjunction 'because' links two clauses within the same sentence. The correct sentence would be:

He went to the library because he wanted a book.

B. The error is the lack of a conjunction linking the two clauses, this is, a conjunction like 'because' is missing.

He went to the library because he wanted a book.

C, Went to the library is a case of run-on sentence because it has no subject.

The structure of this run-on sentence is: <*Subject missing> + <Main Verb> + <Preposition> + <Determiner> + <Noun/Prepositional Object>

D. The clause he went to the library expresses a consequence and he wanted a book expresses a cause, therefore the use of 'after,' expressing time, as a linking word is incorrect. Only conjunctions like 'because' or 'so' can be used in this case.

He went to the library because he wanted a book.

He wanted a book, so he went to the library.

Improvements in british roads allowed

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

At the end of the 17th century, British roads were in a terrible state. A law passed in 1555 instructed local people to maintain the roads in their area. Every parish through which a road passed was legally bound to maintain it by six days a year of unpaid labour. In many area, this law was ignored. Even in those parishes where repairs were carried out, as there was no outside supervision, it was usually just a case of people putting stones and gravel in the worst potholes. Little, if any, attention was given to drainage, and so during the winter these roads often became a sea of mud.
