Answer 1
Answer:

D.  When you and your friends hear this recording, it will be exciting.


An antecedent, by definition, is a word or a phrase that is referred to by an element that follows it in the same sentence or paragraph, typically.  When we look at item “D,” we are left with the question: “What will be exciting?”  Because “it” could be anything, it is safe to say that the antecedent is missing.

I was in the National Forest with my camera. The day was crisp, and the leaves were turning gold and red. When I spotted the white-tailed buck, I froze. He wasn't more than 15 yards from where I was standing. The wind must have been right, because he kept on browsing the mossy ground. I lifted my camera very slowly. Carefully, holding my breath, I lifted the camera to my eye. Turning the focus ring, I framed the deer's head. Just as I was ready to press the shutter release, the buck raised his head. He was looking my way with wide eyes. Click. I took the picture. An instant later, the deer bounded away into the forest. He took off, but I had the shot. Today, the framed photo of that buck hangs above our fireplace.7. What season of the year is implied by the words you read in the paragraph?

What are the advantages and disadvantages of using flashcards and rote form of studying?

Both forms have advantages when used at proper time and level, and disadvantages when used wrongly.

I believe that (C) The Earth was spinning when Lucas first saw Lucille.

A complex sentence consists of one independent clause and at least one dependent clause. I think the independent clause here is "The Earth was spinning" and the dependent clause is "when Lucas first saw Lucille". The dependent clause cannot stand on its own.

For each verb listed, write its present participle first and write its past participle second. Am become begin catch buy come do fall choose

Answers

fall:

Explanation:

The present participle of a verb is formed by adding -ing to it. It can function as an adjective or as a part of verb tenses (the "continuous" tenses). Study the examples below:

- The falling leaves only make the atmosphere more melancholic.

                                                 X

- The leaves are falling in beautiful spirals.

In the first sentence, "falling" works as an adjective, attributing a characteristic to the leaves. In the second sentence, it functions as a verb, part of the Present Continuous Tense, to indicate an action in progress.

The past participle is a verb form used to talk about completed actions. It is used to form perfect tenses in the active voice and all tenses in the passive voice. Study the examples below:

- She has chosen the one she likes best. (Active Voice)

- The one she likes best was chosen by her. (Passive Voice)
