Answer:

After walking my dogs, I sat down to do my homework assignment.

Explanation:

The following words are underlined in the given sentences:

  • My <u>two large dogs happily</u> chased each other around the backyard.
  • Because of their size, my dogs must be <u>fed three meals daily</u>.
  • I wash my dogs <u>outside near</u> the garage once every two weeks.
  • After walking my dogs, <u>I sat down</u> to do my homework assignment.

The term <em>clause</em><em> </em>refers to a group of words that contains a subject and a predicate. The subject is what the sentence is about, while the predicate tells us what the subject is doing or describes the subject.

In order to find the correct answer, we need to look for a subject and a predicate within the underlined groups of words.

In the first example, the predicate is missing.

In the second, it's the subject that is missing.

In the third example, neither the subject nor the predicate is underlined.

In the fourth example, they are both present. <em>I</em> is the subject, and <em>sat</em> is the predicate. That's why the fourth sentence is the correct answer.

In "its only fair," the point of view is?
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

First person point of view.

Explanation:

The first-person point of view illustrates the writing from the narrator's point of view or perspective with the use of the pronoun "I" or "We" contrary to a second or third person point of view that employs "you" or "They" as a pronoun. The narrator is the witness to the story who keeps an "eye" over the events or observes the series of events that carry the story. Thus, <em>"It's only fair" exemplifies the first person point of view as it employs "I" or "We" which is described from Avery's point of view.</em>
