Answer:
The answer would be the second choice/B!
Explanation:
Answer:
b) Both an independent clause and a subordinate clause, when standing alone, are
followed by a period to end the sentence.
Explanation:
An independent clause is a group of words that has a subject and predicate but can make complete sense on their own.
EXAMPLE of an independent clause is "He opened the door"
EXAMPLE of a dependent clause is "when he heard the knock"
"He opened the door" can stand on its own and make perfect sense and can be ended with a period.
"when he heard the knock" is dependent and isn't usually ended with a period when standing alone.
Putting the clauses together, we have, "He opened the door when he heard the knock. " and this is a complex sentence.
I think the correct answer is: They are both willing to risk their lives.
If we understand the word "willing" as ready to do something, this means they both are ready to risk their lives. We could think that the correct answer is "They are both helpless and weak" but in the first excerpt although he seems weak, he has been able to get food for his family and escape from the gamekeepers, even hitting them with the slingshot.
What they have in common is that although they are concious that their actions can kill them they are determined to do them. In the first excerpt hunting in the woods is forbidden and if someone gets caught doing it he would be "even killed". The kid has no option but to risk his life to get some food: "but my family had to eat one way or another."
The second excerpt refers to a pirate's slave, he has a miserable life and it could get worse. He is determined to scape or die trying, we can see that he has nothing else to loose, "I would rather die than spend another minute on that ship."
<u>Answer:</u>
The sentence which is constructed so that the modifier clearly indicates that John works seven days a week is
Option B: John works even on weekends.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The correct sentence that shows that John works 7 days a week is Option B.
In Option A, the words "Even works" means that John will also perform many other chores other than working on weekends. This doesn't specifically mean that John has been working all days in a week. It means that he may or may not work but he had some other chores to do. Therefore, it is incorrect.
Option C says that ‘’Even John works on weekends’’ which means that there are people other than John, who also work on weekends. So, this is also incorrect. Thus, the correct answer is Option B.
