2. I have been to New York<u>,</u><u> and</u> I have been to California.

9. I went to the supermarket, but I didn't buy milk.

10. My mother brought the chicken; My uncle brought the dessert.

Explanation:

A clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a verb. An independent clause can stand on its own. In other words, it makes sense when we read it, and we do not need extra information to comprehend the clause's meaning.

A sentence can have one independent clause or more than one. In the cases where a sentence has more than one independent clause, we can connect them with commas and the FANBOYS or semicolons.

FANBOYS stand for: for (F), and (A), but (B), or (O), yet (Y), so (S). Sentences 1, 2,3,6, and 8 have a FANBOY, so we need to write a comma before them.

On the other hand, sentences number 4 and 7 connect the two independent clauses with a semicolon (;), Sentence 4 is not contrasting or adding two things as the FANBOYS do, but sentence number 7 has the word "however." We use "however" to contrast or compare the clauses. When we use it, we have to write a semicolon or a colon before it and a comma afterward.

Lastly, we have sentence 5, where we added a period to punctuate the second independent clause; however, we could have used a semicolon to show the connection between the two clauses.

In sentence number 9, we link the two independent clauses with the comma and FANBOY but. The two independent clauses are: I went to the supermarket. I didn't buy milk.

In sentence number 10, the two independent clauses are: My mother brought the chicken. My uncle brought the dessert.

We can see that clauses in sentences 9 and 10 have a subject and a verb, and they stand on their own.

kaheart [24]

Unclear question. I inferred this to be the question;

Explain which culture’s values more closely match your own, and why.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Remember, culture in simple words refers to the total way of life of a particular individual or group. This way of life includes but is not limited to; their beliefs, language, tradition, and way of dress and grooming.

For example, members of a particular culture may share similar beliefs, that is, they belong to the same religion, sometimes also two cultures may speak the same language.
