Read the excerpt from “Tools of the Spymaster." James Jay's invisible ink did not become visible by heating. As he described it,

his ink "would elude the generally known means of detection, and yet could be rendered visible by a suitable counterpart." Jay's invisible ink consisted of two chemicals. An agent used one chemical to write an invisible message. To read the message, the reader had to brush a second chemical on the paper; that chemical made the message visible. The two-bottle system, supplied by Jay, gave Washington the secure form of writing that he wanted. Which statement is best supported by text evidence from the excerpt? Heating was a generally known means of reading invisible ink. James Jay was widely considered a hero for his invention. Both the British and the Americans used James Jay’s invisible ink. Washington helped James Jay develop the two-bottle system. 2

Which part of the sentence should be hyphenated
Vlada [557]

<u>Read the sentence. </u>

The shop next door, which is family owned, creates specially made, chocolate covered desserts.

Which part of the sentence should be hyphenated?

  • “next door”
  • “family owned”
  • “specially made”
  • “chocolate covered”

<u>Answer:</u>

“chocolate covered”is a part of the sentence which should be hyphenated.

  • “chocolate covered”

<u>Explanation:</u>

A hyphen is a punctuation mark that is utilized to join words or parts of words. In this sentence covered - chocolate is a hyphenated word that represents food. For the most part, hyphenate at least two words when they precede a thing they change and go about as a solitary thought.

This is known as a compound descriptive word. At the point when a compound descriptive word follows a thing, a hyphen is normally a bit much.

Law Incorporation [45]

<u>Explanation:</u>

Note, a simple sentence refers to a sentence having only one clause, with a single subject and predicate. While a clause is a group of words that contains a verb and may form part of a sentence or complete a sentence.

<u>Examples;</u>

  • 3. Often, organic food products are marketed as the healthier and safer food choice.
  • 8. Before the 20th century, all food was organic.

A complex sentence is one that contains an independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. The independent clause can stand on his own, dependent cannot stand (or make meaning) on its own.

<u>Examples;</u>

  • 2. Organic foods are produced without man-made pesticides and chemical fertilizers.
  • 6. Organic food sales have grown immensely over the last decade, and most traditional grocery stores now carry organic foods.

A compound sentence contains at least two independent clauses joined by a comma, semicolon, or conjunction.

<u>Examples;</u>

  • 4. Skeptics of organic foods believe that the natural pesticides used in organic farming may be just as harmful as man-made pesticides.
  • 5. Many people believe that organic foods are too expensive, but others believe that the health benefits of eating organic foods outweigh the expense.
  • 9. Whether or not you chose to eat organic foods, you should maintain a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.

A compound-complex sentence has at least two independent clauses and one or more dependent clauses.

<u>Examples;</u>

  • 7. Advocates of organic foods claim that organic farming is better for the environment; however, skeptics say that organic farming is not sustainable because it requires more land than traditional farming.
  • 10. Buying fruits and vegetables in season, avoiding salty and sugary foods, and practicing moderation in eating can go a long way toward leading a healthy lifestyle.

The following passage is biologist Hope Jahren’s prologue to her 2016 memoir Lab Girl. A prologue is an introduction that provid
bearhunter [10]

Answer: Jahren is a biologist who has a soft spot for leaves, trees and other life giving plant. In Jahren's prologue, she answered people who wanted to know why she didn't study the ocean though she lives in Hawaii. Jahren is concerned about the fate of trees and plants in the world. She believes that a lot of tree are being fell without adequately replacement and that this affects nature.

According to her, each plant or tree that is felled, is an unnecessary death and she doesn't care whether the plants were lacking in one vitamin or whether the plant is big or small. She believes that the first vital step to becoming a scientist is to care, and not necessarily by ones knowledge of biology, physics, or chemistry.

Some rhetorical choices were made when she said "Someone died? and

Maybe I can convince you" while trying to explain why plants should not be unnecessarily killed.
