<p>bump answers ANYBODY??</p>
<p>1) Lillian’s living room displayed a nineteenth century grand piano, a classic antique coffee table, and there were paintings from the early 1920s on the walls.</p>
<p>2) Not surprisingly, the larger new engine increased both the car’s performance and fuel consumption.</p>
<p>3)Once considered a place to meet people and drink coffee, bookstores are now generally used just to buy books.</p>
<p>4) The vibraphone, melodic and percussive instruments used mostly in jazz, can be played with two or four mallets.</p>
<p>5) On our track team, Evan may have long legs, but he is definitely not the faster of the group.</p>
<p>6) Amanda is definitely the more outspoken of the twins.</p>
<p>7)The coach was unable to offer no reasons for the team’s let-down in the fourth quarter.</p>
<p>8) Christina, unable to sleep a wink, couldn’t barely wait for the morning to arrive so she could open her presents.</p>
<p>9) To not pay attention in class is hardly the way to overcome your incomplete homework.</p>
<p>Although there are many more, I am tired to type them all.
Can you please answer my previous questions on this thread ?
Give your answers one at a time and edit your post to give next answer and so on .
Type both the reason and the correct form .
Btw how can I quote a message ?</p>
<p>1) Lack of parallel structure in the last clause. </p>
<p>2) “larger and newer”? </p>
<p>3) Danging modifier - “a place” is singular; “bookstores” is plural. </p>
<p>4) Did you forget to type that comma?</p>
<p>5) Use the superlative “fastest,” not the comparative. </p>
<p>6) I think that the sentence should say “Amanda is definitely more outspoken than her twin.” Otherwise, it’s illogical - can she be more outspoken than herself? </p>
<p>7) Double negative. </p>
<p>8) Double negative.</p>
<p>9) Awkward. And non-nonsensical. How does one overcome his or her incomplete homework?</p>
<p>^^^^^^1) Correct.
2) Wrong.
3) Correct.
4) Nope I didnt forget.
5) Correct.
6) Wrong, the sentence is correct.
7) Correct.
8) Correct.
9) I think overcome your incomplete homework means to start doing your homework completely.</p>
<p>Can you please explain to me your correct answers ?</p>
<p>0) I think I already explained everything </p>
<p>4) Can you type up the answer choices? The sentence currently makes no sense. </p>
<p>6) Oops</p>
<p>9) Can you type up the answer choices?</p>
<p>The problem is that there are NO ANSWER CHOICES; I will type the answers in about 5 mins,and I will ask you some questions to consolidate my grammar concepts .</p>
<p>1) You just cross out (there were)
2) (its) fuel consumption
3) You wrote it.
4) vibrophone(s)
5) You wrote it.
6) The sentence is correct.
7) any instead of no.
8) Can you please answer it.
9) oops sentence is correct.</p>
<p>2) Aha!
4) Aha!
8) “Couldn’t barely” is the double negative.</p>
<p>^ You are correct about couldnt barely.
Now for consolidating my grammar concepts,
- if we cross out (there were) wont the lack of parallel structure still be in the sentence ?
- What is Not surprisingly (clause(dep or ind), modifying phrase , etc), aint (its fuel consumption) not parallel to the (the car’s performance)
3)Once considered a place to meet people and drink coffee(clause, modifying phrase, etc), is (considered) a verb ?
5)(On our track team) and (Evan may have long legs) are they(clause, mod phrase, etc) - To not pay attention(is pay a verb, infinitive,subject, etc)</p>
<p>As soon as I think of more questions, I will post them immediately</p>
<p>1) No, the sentence would then be parallel.
2) It’s a dependent clause since it doesn’t make sense by itself. It is also a modifying phrase.
3) That’s a dependent clause. It also modifies “bookstore.”
5) “On our track team” is a dependent clause, and it modifies Evan; “Evan may have long legs” is an independent clause.
9) An easy way to remember what an infinitive is remembering that the infinitive form of a verb is the form that you would look up in a dictionary. Pay is an infinitive verb.</p>
<p>^^Pay is an infinitive verb but what is (to pay attention), is (to pay) a noun and (attention) an adjective.</p>
<p>1) HOW WILL IT BE PARALLEL.
2)(its fuel consumption) is not parallel to the (the car’s performance)
3)is (considered) a verb</p>
<p>1) It is. “a nineteenth century grand piano, a classic antique coffee table, and paintings” is parallel.</p>
<p>2) Huh.</p>
<p>3) Huh.</p>
