1. The correct answer is S-V-N.
S refers to subject, and if you take a look at the sentence, you will see that the subject IT comes first. It is then followed by V, which stands for verb. In this sentence, the verb is IS. The verb is followed by a noun phrase HYBRID CAR, which is a predicate nominative (a noun or phrase following a linking verb). Predicate nominatives are written as N.
2. The correct answer is S-V-A.
The layout of this sentence is similar to the first sentence. First, we have the subject (S) TRADITIONAL GAS-POWERED CARS, then we have the verb (V) ARE, which is later followed by an adjective phrase HARMFUL TO THE ENVIRONMENT. This phrase is a predicate adjective (an adjective or adjectival phrase following a linking verb), which is written as A.
3. The correct answer is S-V-O.
This is the most common structure of sentences in the English language. First, we have the subject HYBRIDS, then we have the verb PRODUCE, and then we have the direct object LESS POLLUTION, and later a phrase that we don't need to name. The object of a sentence is determined by asking the question What? (What do hybrids produce? - Less pollution), and it is written as O. IO stands for indirect object, which doesn't appear here.
I believe the answer is A, I had this same question on a test last year, and I'm pretty sure that's the answer.
<span>Yolanda remembers the close ties between her sisters and her cousins when they lived in the family compound of adjoining houses in the Dominican Republic</span>
<span>"But sometimes (like right now), as I sit in the cool, green-draped parlor, the grindstone begins to turn, and time with all its changes is ground away—and I remember Doodle." is the correct answer because it's implying Doodle is no longer with the narrator.</span>
Answer: Option <span>d) He’s devastated that he cannot marry her.</span>
