Answer and Explanation:

Cleft sentences are used to connect something previously understood to new information or to emphasize something by placing it in a different clause. When we use this type of structure, we are basically dividing a piece of information into two clauses. It is common to use <em>it</em> or <em>wh-</em> words to form the cleft sentence.

1. I don't like a manager who acts like a tyrant. = What I don't like is a manager who acts like a tyrant.

2. We're looking for someone who is a team player. - What we are looking for is someone who is a team player.

3. He would prefer to walk to the theater. - What he would prefer is to walk to the theater.

4. She wrote the most popular mystery novel of the year. - It was she who wrote the most popular mystery novel of the year. / What she wrote was the most popular mystery novel of the year.

5. We saw the most dangerous snake in the world. - What we saw was the most dangerous snake in the world. / It was the most dangerous snake in the world that we saw.

6. She had a terrible case of the flu. - What she had was a terrible case of the flu.

7. I don't understand why someone took my headphones. - What I don't understand is why someone took my headphones.

Susan is throwing a Christmas party, but you've forgotten which house is hers! You know that Laura does NOT live directly next t
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

The suzan house is the last one on the right.

Explanation:

If cheryl and eve are direct neighbors we can understand that the two have houses next to each other. However, the text states that Laura and Susan are not direct neighbors, but Laura lives to the left of Cheryl, so we have a neighborhood formed as follows:

Layra + Cheryl + Eve +?

When we show the neighborhood layout, we can see that Susan's house is the one on the right side of Eve's house and the last house on the right.
