Answer:

"As she laughed to herself" is a dependent clause, meaning it cannot stand alone. It needs to be added to an independent clause to be considered a sentence. By adding it to sentence 5, it modifies how Jenna reacted to the situation. There are two ways to add a dependent clause to an independent clause. When you add the dependent clause to the end of the independent clause, like the sentence in the correct answer choice, you do not need a comma to separate the clauses. The word "as" shows the separation in clauses. You can also put the dependent clause before the independent clause and separate them with a comma.

Compare and contrast biblical creationists and evolutionists worldviews.
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

The beginning of the earth, along with the birth of humans is one of the biggest and most contentious issues among creationists and evolutionists. Scientific theory holds the opinion that the universe is eternal, while the Bible states that there is a beginning. It has been proven that there was an official beginning; the question that arises is when that exact beginning took place, a time where there was neither time nor space nor matter. Christianity uses the Old Testament to describe the beginning of life. In the span of six days, God created the heavens, the earth, the sun, moon, water, animals, and ended with the finalé of human beings. Other major events such as Noah’s flood occurred along the lifespan of the earth, accounting for the distribution of fossils and the formation of the earth’s layers Evolution is defined as “the development by natural causes of all organisms, those today and those yesterday, from other forms probably ultimately much simpler and originally perhaps from non-living substances. According to evolutionists, the earth began approximately 4.5 billion years ago, with the explosion of life beginning around 55 million years ago. To evolutionists, the starting of life began as inorganic molecules that underwent a natural transformation (through electricity or heat) to become organic molecules. These building blocks joined to form macromolecule chains that eventually made up organisms.

1. We were weeding the vegetable bed and picking ripe tomatoes is the correct sentencing of the fragment. 
2. It would be the third one "my brother was careful to avoid driving during rush hour" because this is a sentence and in the first choice makes the fragment turn into two fragments.
3. Add "turn" to the beginning of the fragment. This makes the fragment into a sentence.
