Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

The background knowledge that when he was treating humans and kept pets, people stopped coming to him for treatment and he became poor.

Explanation:

While reading the story, Sweet T must have read of the time when Doctor Dolittle was treating humans and kept a lot of pets. People did not like the animals and they soon stopped coming to him for treatments. He began losing money and soon became very poor.

This background knowledge would help Sweet T make the inference that since pet owners were scared of bringing their sick pets to Dr. Dolittle, he would be losing money and would soon become poor again.

Which of the following sentences is written correctly?
chubhunter [2.5K]

B. Eager to eat, Caleb immediately joined the buffet line.

The other ones don't make sense because the order that the words are put confuses who is doing the action.

For example in the sentence:

Caleb was ready for the party wearing a suit and tie.

The way this sentence was written makes it seem like the party was wearing a suit and tie even though it was Caleb.

This is how it should have been:

Caleb, wearing a suit and tie, was ready for the party

Another example:

Having fun, the dance floor was already full of people.

Who/what was having fun? The dance floor or the people? In this sentence it seems like the dance floor is having fun.

This is how it should have been:

The dace floor was already full of people having fun.

Last example:

He rode in a car that was decorated with his friends

So his car was decorated with little models of his friends. I'm sure he didn't mean this so...

With his friends, he rode in a decorated car.

Hope this made sense and helped you understand!

Before the game begins, the coach reviews the new plays with the team. Select the answer that identifies the type of clause used
HACTEHA [7]

The answer to your question would be that the answer that identifies the type of clause used in the sentence and the word being modified is the following one: Adverb clause; reviews.

An adverb clause is a group of words that functions as an adverb in the sentence. As they are dependent clauses, they must have a subordinating conjunction to connect them to the rest of the sentence. In this case, the subordinating conjunction introducing the adverbial clause is "before". What is more, the adverbial clause in question gives information regarding the time in which the the coach reviewed the new plays with the team.
