D. Her favorite Broadway musical is South Pacific.
Student Answer: C
Answer: Incorrect

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Let's do this.

10.
• A is wrong because Macedonia is a country. Countries are capitalized.
• B is wrong because it's not a SPECIFIC valley, so no need to capitalize it.
• C is correct.
• D is wrong because the first word in a quotation generally needs to be capitalized (unless it's an embedded quote, which you can look up online).

12. This is a frustrating question. There is absolutely no set rule for how long a paragraph should be. But since you got A wrong, I think that D might be your best answer. Again, I'm guessing here because there is no set rule on this.

17. Unfortunately I can't answer this one with total confidence since you didn't italicize anything when you typed in the answer choices. But I know this much:
• A might need to have "avant-garde" italicized, since it's a foreign phrase. However, sometimes foreign words and phrases become common enough in English that we no longer need to italicize them (like "cappuccino" for example). Many people consider avant-garde to be one of these phrases.
• Nothing in B needs to be italicized.
• C is obviously wrong.
• In D, South Pacific needs to be italicized. It's the title of a play, and titles of books and plays are always italicized.

Answer 2

Answer: The first one is C. I believe

Read the sentence.Bobcats get their name from their clipped tails.
Is the participle in this sentence present, past, or perfect?
past
perfect
present

Answers

The participle in this sentence is "past"

Participles have different functions within a sentence. In this case, the past participle is "clipped" and ends with "ed". The past participle "clipped" functions as an adjective since it is modifying the noun "tails".

The option "present" is incorrect since present participles are formed by verb infinive+ing.

Present participle would be 'clipping'. Perfect participle would be 'having clipped'. Therefore, the only option left is 'past participle'.

Which answer properly corrects the phrase fragment in italics? To find his missing books. He had to search all over the house.
a. He had to search all over the house; finding his missing books.
b. Finding his missing books. He had to search all over the house.
c. To find his missing books, he had to search all over the house.
d. He had to search all over his house, and to find his missing books.

Answers

C is the correct answer, because it is the only option which sounds natural. In A, semi colon (;) is unnecessary. In the second example, there are two sentences, the first one is still a phrase fragment. D is not correct because of 'and', it is redundant.

(1) To James, good form came above all else. (2) Therefore, on being introduced to Lady Weathers, he bowed, took her hand, and kissed it lightly. (3) Then, glancing upward at Lady Weathers's face, he saw a look of consternation. (4) Blushing with embarassment, James noticed the morsel of green on the back of her hand. (5) Gasping out awkward apologies, James excused himself and rushed to the restroom. (6) Gazing into the mirror, he discovered bits of parsley on his front teeth. (7) Frowning with disgust, James saw he had been made a fool of by an ineptly consumed canapé. (8) "Well," he thought to himself, "Tommorow is another day."
