Answer:

Her mother painted the room her favorite colors (pink and yellows).

Explanation:

You use parentheses to insert extra information that a statement would still be correct without. So you can't have parentheses around parts of a sentence that, if removed, would make the sentence incomplete.

The answer I chose here doesn't need to say that the mother's favourite colours are pink and yellow for the sentence to be complete, so it is stated in parentheses. Removing the part in parentheses would not make the sentence incomplete because the sentence still works without it.

In all the other statements, removing the part in parentheses would have the statements make no sense, which means that the parentheses are incorrectly placed.

Answer:

False

Explanation:

This is the NIV verse of Galatians 3:1-2:

1 You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified. 2 I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by believing what you heard?

He is calling out the Galations and is not commending or celebrating their actions.

I hope this helps! :)
