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.
