Answer 1
Answer: The situation that you would change the final y in a base word to i before adding a suffix is when the base word ends with a consonant followed by the letter y. The correct answer is option A. For example, the word "worry". When we add the suffix -ed, we change y to i and then add -ed, then it becomes the word "worried".

Which sentence is punctuated correctly?Don wore braces on both of his legs still; he was an avid runner.
Don wore braces on both of his legs: still he was an avid runner.
Don wore braces on both of his legs still, he was an avid runner.
Don wore braces on both of his legs; still, he was an avid runner.

Answers

"Don wore braces on both of his legs; still, he was an avid runner" is the only sentence that is punctuated correctly, since the semicolon separates the two clauses. 

The sentence that is punctuated correctly is:

Don wore braces on both of his legs; still, he was an avid runner.

This is the correct option because the semicolon is a punctuation mark that is used to separate two major sentence elements, just like the ones presented here. Moreover, there is a comma after still, because it is an introductory phrase and the author wants to emphasize its sense of contrast.

Tom’s willingness to work impressed his employer.Identify the words in bold.
A.

preposition
B.

verb
C.

gerund
D.

infinitive

Answers

Answer:

D:To work is an infinitive

Explanation:

To is  part of the infinitive, it is an infinitive particle. Work is a verb (or bare infinitive, without the infinitive particle. ); the union of to and work  forms the infinitive (to work). In the sentence "She goes to work", to  is a preposition and work is a noun. Working is a gerund. Working hard is one of Tom's many characteristics that impressed his employer.
