Final answer:
The sentence provided does not correctly include the obligatory copula 'is,' making the statement false. The correct sentence should be 'The race is not over yet,' where 'is' is the required be verb acting as the main verb followed by an adjectival phrase.
Step-by-step explanation:
The sentence 'The race not over yet' contains an obligatory context for the uncontractible copula BE (am, are, is, was, were) is false. The correct form should be 'The race is not over yet' where 'is' acts as the main verb and is followed by an adjectival phrase 'not over yet.' According to the sentence pattern:
- (subject) + (be verb) + (adverbial of time or place)
- (subject) + (be verb) + (adjectival)
- (subject) + (be verb) + (noun phrase)
True. A sentence with the uncontractible copula 'be' (am, are, is, was, were) requires an obligatory context. In the sentence 'The race not over yet,' the word 'not' functions as the obligatory context for the uncontractible copula 'be.' It indicates that the race is still ongoing and has not yet finished. Therefore, the correct answer is A. True.
the subject 'The race' is followed by the copula 'is,' and then by the adjectival 'not over yet,' which describes the state of the race.
