A. DIRECTIONS: Rewrite each sentence, changing nonparallel grammatical

English
1 answer:
Wittaler [7]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

1. Robbins profiles three successful adults who were rejected, mocked, and bullied in high school because they were different.

2. Runners, swimmers, and basketball players are all athletes, just different kinds.

3. Alexandra Robbins says that geeks can have character traits such as empathy,  intelligence, and creativity that serve them well later in life.

4. Robbins says that popular students might be instigators of aggression,  members of cliques, and exhibitors of exclusionary behavior.

5. The argument suggests that students who are popular may not do as well in  school and may not be as good at finding success after graduation. Correct

Explanation:

Non-parallel grammatical structures involve the use of verb forms that do not have the same base form when comparing two or more things. For example, this sentence uses verb forms that do not have the same base forms:  <em>Running, swimmers, and basketball players are all athletes, just different kinds. </em>The verb, running, is not in the same base form as swimmers and players.

Parallel grammatical structures make comparisons with verbs that are in the same base forms. Example is; <em>Robbins profiles three successful adults who were rejected, mocked, and bullied in high school because they were different. </em>Rejected, mocked, and bullied are all in the same base form.

The young child, having been warned by her mother, did not go near the hot stove.
LuckyWell [14K]
If the underlined phrase is <em>having been warned by her mother, </em>then this is a nonessential perfect participial phrase.
Nonessential phrases are separated from the rest of the sentence by commas, and since this is a perfect participle, this is the only correct option.

Read the two excerpts from act 3, scene 2, of Julius Caesar.
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

A)  Both Brutus and Antony ask rhetorical questions to make points.

Explanation:

Brutus and Antony both ask rhetorical questions. Isn't it? "Would you rather Caesar live and all slaves die than Caesar die and all free men live? ...Who is a bondman here?" Asks Antony "Did Caesar appear ambitious? Was it a goal?"

The other choices are incorrect. Brutus' ambition is not positive. He says he killed Caesar for his ambition. He probably wouldn't have killed him if he valued ambition. They didn't mention Caesar's flaws. Using the pronoun "you" directly addresses the crowd.

I need a descriptive essay on the following topic “a stormy night” please help it’s extremely urgent!!!!:,( due in an hour!!!!!
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

The storm clouds from the east had finally rolled onto the ranch. The ominous clouds took it’s place before the sky as the floodwaters of the heavens opened up to release the heavy droplets we know as “rain”. Soon ever blade of grass and every leaf from the tall oak trees were drenched in heavy rain. All the vegetation was struggling to stay up as the overbearing rain drops crushed them down. The night dragged on and with the passing of time brought the booming of thunder. Powerful bursts of Light streamed across the sky in an almost angery sort of way as the winds carried stray leaves and nearby rubbish into the unknown. The storm plowed on until the ranch was completely flooded. The vegetation was ruined and torn apart, the trees had lost many leaves from the powerful wind, and all the animals of the ranch were nowhere to be found. This stormy night had no mercy for the ranch.


hope this helps sorry it took so long to write and think of a good little story! :D
