Based on the given passage above, I can say that the sentences that have errors are sentences 3 and 6. On sentence 3, the erroneous part is "considering writing". The sentence could be written well like this: She strongly considers writing about <span>Sally Ride, because he was the first American woman in space. On sentence 6, the erroneous part is the use of "is" instead of "are" after the word "options". </span>
Answer:
Uncle Hammer gets very angry, particularly at Mr. Simms. He mutters something about getting his gun and leaves in a car. Mr. Morrison follows Uncle Hammer and is able to talk him down. Confronting a white man would have been devastating for Uncle Hammer and the family.
Answer: Hi there! I'd say that the term that best fits this definition is a coordinating conjunction.
Explanation: (I hope that you don't mind me citing from a previous answer of mine to explain this.) Coordinating conjunctions are commonly called FANBOYS. It is an acronym that represents the following words:
- <em>F</em><em>or</em>
- <em>A</em><em>nd</em>
- <em>N</em><em>or</em>
- <em>B</em><em>ut</em>
- <em>O</em><em>r</em>
- <em>Y</em><em>et</em>
- <em>S</em><em>o</em>
All the terms listed above can be used to connect independent sentence clauses, like this:
- I want toast, eggs, and orange juice.
- They wanted to come to the party, but their mom said no.
- Jax is not helping us, so we'll have to do all the work ourselves!
I hope that this helps! :)
