What does the underlined conjunction connect in the sentence? Daisies and daylilies grow in Rosa's flower garden.

Hi There!

What does the underlined conjunction connect in the sentence?Daisies and daylilies grow in Rosa's flower garden.

A.
direct objects

B.
subjects

C.
sentences

D.
predicates

I'll say A.direct objects

I believe it would be B, because together the daisies and daylilies are two different things found growing in Rosa's flower garden, therefore two different subjects. For example, in the sentence, "Drake and Josh both attended Megan's party," Drake and Josh are two separate sections as well is Megan's party. The verb "grow" connects the two different types of flowers/subjects to the subject of Rosa's flower garden.

ESSAY: WHAT WOULD YOU DO? "In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing. The worst thing you can do is nothing." –Theodore Roosevelt Our twenty-sixth American president knew what it was like to make hard decisions that pull from deep within a person's values. At some point in time you are going to be faced with hard decisions, if you haven't been already. These decisions are hard because you'll have to rely on your beliefs to make a good choice, when the easier choice might not always be right or even ethical. For example, when you're at the grocery store with your parents, do you go ahead and eat just one grape off the bunch even if you're not buying the bunch of grapes? What about the candy bin? Have you ever eaten a piece of candy since it's out there and available with easy access? Actually, participating in these acts is a form of shoplifting. Do you hold an after-school job? Do you give free food to your friends when they come in? Or perhaps you use your employee discount to buy clothes for friends at a low price when that price break is only supposed to be for you. Hopefully, you choose to be honest. The true test of character is how a person chooses to act when nobody is around to see it. How do you behave when nobody is watching? Are you the same person in front of your friends as you are in front of your parents or as you are when you're alone in your room? Now it's time for you to make some personal evaluations as you get ready to write some essay responses.

OBJECTIVES Select three ethical situations to evaluate. Write three one-paragraph essays on three different ethical dilemmas. Directions You've learned that decisions and actions have consequences. Now it's time to evaluate what you would do in certain situations. Consider the five scenarios that are presented. These are real situations that other students have encountered before. Put yourself in their shoes and respond in essay format to each scenario. Take time to think and consider each situation. Read through it and even ask your parents or trusted friend for their opinions if you wish. Then write one paragraph for each of three scenarios you select.

Scenario 1. It's the middle of class, and you've been excused to use the restroom. Along the way you find a $10 bill lying in the hallway. Nobody is around to claim it, nor do you know to whom it belongs. Do you pocket the money, or do you take it to the lost-and-found?

Scenario 2. You are taking a test, and the teacher leaves the room. You can see the test answers on your neighbor's paper, and you are tempted to check your answers. You actually studied for the test and know you probably did pretty well, but it wouldn't hurt to compare answers, just to make sure you got the right answers. You won't get caught. Do you consider it cheating? Would you do it?

Scenario 3. You are a teacher's assistant, and your job is to record grades. It just so happens you know a few of the students in the class, and they approach you one day to ask for higher grades on their papers. All you have to do is change the letter grades on the score sheet, and the teacher will probably never find out what happened. Knowing that you would never get caught for changing a grade, would you do it?

Scenario 4. You overhear a couple of students talking about plans to come back to school in the evening to play some pranks. You know these students have a reputation for getting into trouble a lot, so you wonder if their "pranks" are more serious than just a little fun. Would you report the students to your teacher, or would you just let it slide? Nobody will know that you did or didn't overhear these students. Is it your responsibility to notify your teacher?

Scenario 5. You have a short essay to write for your English class, and you found some reviews on the Internet. You're running short on time, and you don't like the assignment about Hamlet anyway, so you'd rather get it done quickly. You can easily take the Internet review and doctor it up a bit and turn it in for your homework. Is this plagiarizing, or have you really done your own homework assignment? Would you turn in that fixed-up review?

Which of these excerpts from Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice highlights the condescending attitude of upper-class characters?1. Her report was highly favourable.Sir William had been delighted with him. He was quite young, wonderfully handsome, extremely agreeable, and, to crown the whole, he meant to be at the next assembly with a large party. Nothing could be more delightful! To be fond of dancing was a certain step towards falling in love; and very lively hopes of Mr. Bingley's heart were entertained. 2. Jane was as much gratified by this as her mother could be, though in a quieter way. Elizabeth felt Jane's pleasure. Mary had heard herself mentioned to Miss Bingley as the most accomplished girl in the neighbourhood; and Catherine and Lydia had been fortunate enough never to be without partners, which was all that they had yet learnt to care for at a ball. They returned, therefore, in good spirits to Longbourn, the village where they lived, and of which they were the principal inhabitants. They found Mr. Bennet still up. 3. They were rather handsome, had been educated in one of the first private seminaries in town, had a fortune of twenty thousand pounds, were in the habit of spending more than they ought, and of associating with people of rank, and were therefore in every respect entitled to think well of themselves, and meanly of others. They were of a respectable family in the north of England; a circumstance more deeply impressed on their memories than that their brother's fortune and their own had been acquired by trade.4. The manner in which they spoke of the Meryton assembly was sufficiently characteristic. Bingley had never met with more pleasant people or prettier girls in his life; everybody had been most kind and attentive to him; there had been no formality, no stiffness; he had soon felt acquainted with all the room; and, as to Miss Bennet, he could not conceive an angel more beautiful. Darcy, on the contrary, had seen a collection of people in whom there was little beauty and no fashion, for none of whom he had felt the smallest interest, and from none received either attention or pleasure. Miss Bennet he acknowledged to be pretty, but she smiled too much.
