Answer:

D. Denotation

Explanation:

It should be Denotation because Denotation is the literal meaning of the word; Connotation is the figurative meaning of it, or the feelings or idea that's invoked by the word, in this case, slam. So the Connotation of the word slam could be "angry, frustrated, argument," because that's what you think of when you see the word slam used in whatever context it is (Think: in what scenario would you use the word slam for the story you're telling?). On the other hand, Denotation is the definition of the word that you would normally expect to see in the dictionary.

An acronym sentence should list the information you are trying to remember in the correct order

BabaBlast [244]

Are you making a statement or true or false?
I think it's false, but I'm not sure.
An acronym can just be a shortened name and not only a list. Acronyms help you memorize, yes, but I think the answer is false. This is due to the fact that acronyms are typically used to shorten names or brands.

Which of the following sentences contain an adverb clause?

Jlenok [28]

The correct answer is: [A]:
________________________________________________________
"People will not get ahead if they do not study."
________________________________________________________
Explanation:
________________________________________________________
Note that one (1) feature of an "adverb clause" is that an "adverb clause" must begin with a "subordinating conjunction".
________________________________________________________
The only answer choices provided that meet this criterion are:
________________________________________________________
Choice: [A]: "People will not get ahead if they do not study."

In this sentence, there is a "subordinating conjunction"— which is—" if ".
________________________________________________________
Choice: [C]: " Because of the defensive driving lessons, I am probably a better driving today ".

In this sentence, there is a "subordinating conjunction"
— which is—"Because" .
________________________________________________________
Note the other criteria for "adverb clauses" — as follows:
________________________________________________________
1) Adverb clauses are "modifiers".

2) Adverb clauses contain both a subject AND a verb.

3) Adverb clauses, on their own, do not form complete sentences.
_______________________________________________________
Consider: Choice: [C]:
_______________________________________________________
"Because of the defensive driving lessons, I am probably a better driving today."

→ Note: Since the particular clause beings with the "subordinating conjunction—"Because" (in this case) — consider the phrase:
_______________________________________________________
"Because of the defense driving lessons" ;

→ This is NOT an "adverb clause". An "adverb clause" must contain BOTH a "noun" AND a "verb"— and this particular clause does NOT contain a "verb".

Rule out "Choice: [C] " .
___________________________________________________________
Consider:

"Choice: [A]: "People will not get ahead if they do not study."

→ Note: Since the particular clause beings with the "subordinating conjunction"—" if " (in this case) — consider the phrase:
_______________________________________________________
 " if they do not study ."
_______________________________________________________

→ Note the following:
_______________________________________________________
1) This clause contains BOTH a "noun" —which is: "they" (a subject pronoun referring to "people"); AND a "verb" —which is: "do [not] study" .

2) This clause modifies "people" .

3) This clause is a NOT a sentence if it stands alone.
___________________________________________________________
Thus; this very answer choice: "Answer choice: [A]:
__________________________________________________________
→ "People will not get ahead if they do not study."
__________________________________________________________
→ is the only sentence —
 (among the answer choices provided) —
that: 1) is an "adverb clause" ; AND:
that: 2) is the correct answer.
__________________________________________________________
