The vague or unacceptable word in the following sentence is _____.Do you want them roses?

A. do

B. them

C.you

Answers

Answer:

B. them.

Explanation:

In any sentence, a vague or unacceptable word is any word that is used or put in a sentence but does no have any special or purpose in the sentence. It is not necessarily required in the sentence.

In the given sentence, the use of the word "them" to refer to the "roses" has no special purpose in the sentence. Rather, the sentence can well manage itself even without the word "them" in it. So, the vague or unacceptable word is "them".

B. them. That is the unacceptable word in the sentence.

Which is a fused sentence?A. Our pet poodle loves to sit on our laps and take long naps.
B. I love drawing because it exercises my imagination.
C. Choosing a video game is hard there are so many for sale.
D. Pablo took a music class that focused on playing the piano.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is letter C. Choosing a video game is hard there are so many for sale.

Explanation:

A fused sentence happens when we put together two independent clauses with no punctuation or conjunction to connect them. An independent clause has a subject and a predicate, and it expresses a complete thought on its own.

We have precisely that in letter C. Two independent clauses were put together without proper punctuation or a conjunction to connect them:

1. Choosing a video game is hard.

2. There are so many (video games) for sale.

We could correct the sentence in letter C by using a semicolon to separate the clauses or by using the coordinating conjunction "for" to establish a relationship of explanation between them.

- Choosing a video game is hard; there are so many for sale.

- Choosing a video game is hard, for there are so many for sale. --> note that we must add a comma before the conjunction
I believe it would be C. Because there should be a comma between 'hard' and 'there'.
