Answer:
D its the only sentence that makes sense out of the 4 given choices
Answer:The excerpt that best expresses the theme that all living things are a part of, and are guided by, a natural purpose is:
She's only filled with an old blind wish. It isn't even hers but came to her
Explanation:"The Turtle" is a poem by author Mary Oliver. The speaker in the poem talks of the beauty and effortlessness of turtle laying eggs in the sand. It's a sacred action, which the turtle itself cannot understand since the drive to do it does not come consciously. It is a purely instinctive drive, guided by nature. The speaker admires the turtle's determination and patience in completing the task while remaining unaware of itself as an individual. The turtle sees itself as the world, and the world as itself.
C. I thought about what he'd said soon I realized he was right.
A run-on sentence is a sentence that contains two independent clauses that are not joined with the correct punctuation. An independent clause has a subject and verb and contains a complete thought. Sentence C has two complete thoughts with a subject and verb, but no punctuation to connect them correctly. The independent clauses are "I thought about what he'd said" and "Soon I realized he was right". To correct this sentence the author would need to use a semicolon (;) between the clauses or use a comma and conjunction. While some of the other sentence contain extra conjunctions (option B and D), they don't have two subject and verb phrases. Option A uses a semicolon to join the two independent clauses which makes it grammatically correct.
Answer:
1. an invention
2. completely
3. interesting
Explanation:
Since the word "invention" begins with a vowel sound /ɪnˈvɛnʃn/, we should use the indefinite article "an". As for "interested": the adjectives that end with "-ed" describe some sort of condition, feeling of either thing or human, temporary in general; the adjectives with "-ing" describe some kind of quality, generally permanent. Therefore, we should use "interesting". The rest is contextual.
