Decide if the underlined part of each sentence is an absolute phrase, an appositive phrase, a restrictive clause, or a nonrestri

Zepler [3.9K]

The answer to the question above is the following one:

a) The concert that I attended was held last August.

A is a restrictive clause because it modifies the noun it precedes. It provides essential information as regards the sentence. If it was dropped, the sentence would not have the same meaning.

b) The audience moved as one, the crowd swaying the music.

B is an absolute phrase. Absolute phrases are phrases that modify a noun in a sentence but they are not connected to the sentence by a conjunction. They are set off with a comma and can be deleted from the sentence without altering its meaning.

c) The concert, which had been rescheduled, was sold out.

C is nonrestrictive clause. It provides information which is considered nonessential. Therefore, it can be erased without altering the meaning of the sentence.

d) The band, a hometown favorite, came back for serveral encores

D is an appositive phrase. An appositive is a noun or a noun phrase that renames another noun right beside it. They are set off with commas.

Read the essay "Love Thy Garden." Then rewrite the essay to improve the flow between sentences as well as between the paragraphs

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

Love Thy Garden

Most of us associate gardening with our grandparents, with people recovering from an illness, or with older folks gently tending to rows of hydrangeas and tomatoes. Of course, it is not something young people do, right? However, an increasing number of young adults and kids are getting into small-scale farming or gardening. This happens because schools across the country have initiated programs that involve working not only in gardens but also in small community farms. For example, The Edible Schoolyard Project, which was created in 2005 by Alice waters, makes farming fun for young people. In the beginning, Alice wanted to transform a vacant lot into an edible kitchen in her neighborhood school. After 2005, the project blossomed into a nationwide campaign to involve kids in the food-growing and production process. The program lets school kids of varying ages grow their fruits and vegetables. Then, it teaches them interesting and simple recipes. Can you imagine the joy kids experience in every stage when growing their food? First, they plant the seed. Then, they watch the plant grow as they take care of it. Finally, they pick the fruits and eat them. Besides, farming has other benefits: it relieves stress and it helps kids stay fit and connect with the community. Gardening or farming can also be fun for adults and teenagers. Thus, people of all ages can enjoy it.

Explanation

Grandparents: unification of the concept grandpas and grandmas to get a shorter sentence.
Sentence 1: Since the first three sentences are closely related, the text flows better by linking them. The repetition of the preposition "with" gives the text a poetical aspect.
people recovering from an illness/with older folks gently tending to rows of hydrangeas and tomatoes: omission of the expressions "who are"/"We have seen" to make the sentence shorter.
Of course: to emphasize the claim.
Young people instead of younger because there is not a comparison between two elements in the same sentence.
It is not instead of it isn´t since it should be formal as it may be an academic text.
However: connector to show an opposition between two ideas.
This happens because: phrase to link the cause and the effect.
not only in gardens but also in small community farms: not only but also to show addition.
For example: to introduce an instance of the previous idea.
, which was created in 2005 by Alice waters, : use of a relative clause to characterize the previous pronoun.
In the beginning/ After 2005: connectors to show the before and after of the project.
neighborhood school instead of a school in her neighborhood to make the sentence less complex.
The omission of "own" because it is redundant.
Then: connector of time to show that the idea follows the food-growing process.
as: to show simoultaneous ideas
Can you imagine the joy kids experience in every stage when growing their food?: use of a question to invite the reader to think and make him/her feel part of the text.
First/then/finally: connectors to show the chronological order of processes.
Besides: to add a new idea
use of colon: to introduce a list of equal elements
also: to show the idea of addition, inclusion
Thus: connector to show a consequence of the previous statement

MissTica

Answer:

"I also enlarged my mother's kitchen and pantry."

"Then Bart went off to college and I had use of the rest of the basement."

"Not only was this invention used in theaters, but it was sold to the Museum of Natural History and the New York Planetarium to project views of the heavens on the ceiling."

Explanation:

These are the statements that can be considered facts. Facts are objective statements that describe reality. The most important quality of facts is that they are falsifiable. This means that facts can be proven to be right or wrong. Facts are usually contrasted with opinions. Opinions are thoughts that a person has, but that are not necessarily shared by others. Moreover, opinions are not objectively right or wrong, they are subjective, as they express the unique point of view of a person, and depend on this for legitimacy.
