Answer 1

1. A

2. C

3. D

4. C

Step-by-step explanation:

1\ This sentence includes several phrases, but only one describes Jerome rather than what Jerome did.

2\ Any clause must include both a subject and a predicate. A dependent clause, though, is unable to stand on its own—it depends on another clause for its meaning.

3\ A complex sentence contains one independent clause and one dependent, or subordinate, clause.

4\ The sentence contains both a dependent clause and an independent clause, and the two parts are connected by a subordinating conjunction.

Answer 2

1. A

2. D

3. D

4. C

Step-by-step explanation:

A dependent clause is a incomplete sentence. (2.D)

Modifying subjects means when you change the whole story with just one or two words. (1.A)

A complex sentence is a sentence containing a subordinate clause or clauses.(3.D)

A complex sentence has one independent clause and at least one dependent clause. This means that the clauses are not equal, they use a co-ordinating conjunction that changes the rank of one or more of the clauses to make it less equal. For example; My Dad laughed when I told a joke. (4.C)
