Question

Design your own narrative paragraph that illustrates the three tools for coherence: conjunctive adverbs, relative pronouns, and appositive phrases. Additionally, use at least one compound sentence in your paragraph.

Answer 1

Kitty, a pretty girl called after a cat, couldn't make it to school that week; nevertheless, she couldn't fail to check up her friend Senami. Senami was at home, having fun with her cat Kitty, which she called after her friend.

The appositive phrase is "a pretty girl called after a cat". It shows a phrase segregated by commas, which illustrate the noun or supplies extra information.

The conjunctive adverb here is "nevertheless". It seen to link two independent clauses as one sentence, communicate the connotation of contrast (Kitty couldn't go to school, but she checked up on her friend).

The relative pronoun in this case is "which". It is relative since it speaks of "her cat Kitty", and it brings in a dependent clause.

The compound sentence employed in the short paragraph is "Kitty, a pretty girl called after a cat, couldn't go to school that week; nevertheless, she couldn't fail to check up on her friend Senami." It uses two independent clauses: "Kitty, a pretty girl called after a cat, couldn't go to school that week" and "nevertheless, she couldn't fail to check up on her friend Senami".

Answer 2

Here is a narrative paragraph to illustrate the three tools for coherence, which, in turn, are underlined and explained below:

[More and more kids are overweighted nowadays and the impacts on health from having bad eating habits are an ever growing threat for society.] Compound sentence: there is at least two independent clauses.

[This is the reason why doctors, who are specialized in the field, highly recommend to go on [a healthy and balanced diet along with regular excercise, to stay healthy, not only physically but also emotionally.]

Relative pronouns: "why", "who"; appositive phrase: "who are specialized in the field"; Compound sentence: "More and more kids are overweighted nowadays and the impacts on health from having bad eating habits are an ever growing threat for society."
