Like simple conjunctions, correlative conjunctions in complex
coordination can also express different meanings. Based on it,
what is the meaning expressed by the correlative conjunction
either...or in the following sentence: Maria has eaten either
rice or pasta?
 Alternative
Purpose
Time
Concession
Addition
Respondido em 22/04/2022 16:02:52
Explicação:
Feedback: The pairs of correlative conjunctions are the
following: both...and, neither...nor, not only...but also,
either...or, which convey addition, exclusion, alternatives. In
the sentence Maria has eaten either rice or pasta the
conjunctions are used to present alternatives, options;
therefore, the idea of alternative (one or another) is being
conveyed.

In negative sentences, ellipsis can also occur in the second
clause, using the word either or neither. Based on it, put the
affirmative sentence my friend said it, and I did too in its
negative form, considering the use of either. Choose the
grammatically correct option:
My friend didn't say it, and I didn't too.
 My friend didn't say it, and I didn't either.
My friend didn't say it, and I either.
My friend didn't say it, and I said either.
My friend didn't say it, and I either did.
Respondido em 22/04/2022 16:03:28
Explicação:
Feedback: Either and too are very similar in usage. They
tend to be placed at the end of sentences. Whereas either is
used with negative sentences, too is used with positive ones.
What¿s more, to correctly use either, the auxiliary verb should
also be used. Only the sentence My friend didn¿t say it, and I
didn¿t either exemplifies its correct use. The other options
either place the word incorrectly after the subject, omit the
auxiliary verb altogether, or use the main verb, instead of the
auxiliary verb.

READ THE TEXT BELOW:
First published in 1951, Shamanism soon became the standard
work in the (1) STUDY of this (2) MYSTERIOUS and fascinating
phenomenon. Writing as the founder of the modern study of
the history of religion, Romanian émigré scholar Mircea Eliade
(1907-1986) (3) SURVEYS the practice of Shamanism over two
and a half millennia of human history, moving from the
Shamanic traditions of Siberia and Central Asia, (4) WHERE
Shamanism was (5) FIRST observed, to North and South
America, Indonesia, Tibet, China, and beyond.

Which of the highlighted words IN BLOCK LETTERS in the text
is an example of an Adjective Phrase?
1
 2
3
4
5
Respondido em 22/04/2022 16:05:22
Explicação:
Mysterious (CORRECT), since the suffix "-OUS" is used to
change nouns into adjectives. In the case, the noun MYSTERY
+ the suffix "-OUS" was changed into the adjective
MYSTERIOUS. Consequently, as the central element of an
Adjective Phrase must be an adjective, the word in question is
used to form an Adjective Phrase. The other words show
either examples of noun (study and survey), relative pronouns
(where) or determiners (first).

TEXT I
 
Prologue
Hear me! We have heard of Danish heroes,
Ancient kings and the glory they cut
For themselves, swinging mighty swords!
How Shild made slaves of soldiers from every land,
Crowds of captives he had beaten
Into terror; he had traveled to Denmark alone,
An abandoned child, but changed his own fate,
Lived to be rich and honored.
(RAFFEL, Burton. Beowulf. New York: Signet Classics, 2008,
p.3)
 
 
TEXT II
 
"A phrase with a preposition as the head followed by a
complement is called a prepositional phrase."
(CARTER, Ronald.; McCARTHY, Michael. Cambridge Grammar
of English. Cambridge: CUP, 2010., p.916)
 
Based on the TEXTS above, the highlighted element from TEXT
I which dialogues with the definition provided in TEXT II is:
the glory
we
have heard
 of captives
rich and honored
Respondido em 22/04/2022 16:09:51
Explicação:
The phrase of captives is composed of the preposition OF + a
complement (CAPTIVES). Consequently, it¿s classed as a
PREPOSITIONAL PHRASE. Rich and Honored, on the other
hand, since it contains two adjectives, it¿s an example of an
ADJECTIVE PHRASE. Have heard is a VERB PHRASE composed
of the auxiliary verb HAVE + lexical verb HEARD. We, because
it contains a pronoun, falls under the NOUN PHRASE category.
Finally, the glory is an example of a NOUN PHRASE composed
of the definite article THE + the noun GLORY. Therefore, of
captives is the only correct answer.

Explicação:
You are asked to rephrase a nonrestrictive relative clause and,
therefore, you must use either a dash or a comma to keep it
apart from the main clause. Besides paying attention to
punctuation, you must also preserve the preposition, even if
you choose to delete the relative pronoun which. The only
option in which both the nonrestrictive relative clause is
maintained and the preposition is correctly being used is:
"This IPCC Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5°C was
formally approved by the world's governments in 2018 - the
year the IPCC celebrates its 30th anniversary in."

Mark the option that best classifies the syntactic function of
the noun phrase "the people" in the main clause and in the
restrictive relative clause respectively:
 
"These changes affect both ocean ecosystems and the people
[that rely on them]"
Subject, subject.
Object, object.
Subject, object.
 Object, subject.
Subject, agent of the passive voice.
Respondido em 22/04/2022 16:14:47
Explicação:
The noun phrase "the people" is the object of the verb
"affect" in the main clause as well as the subject of the verb
"rely" in the restrictive relative clause. Remember that the
canonical word order in English is subject-verb-complement,
meaning that the subject usually precedes the verb phrase
and that a complement (in this case an object) follows the
verb phrase. "The people" follow the verb phrase, being the
complement or object of the verb "affect"; whereas
"that" precedes the verb "rely", occupying then the subject
slot. The only correct alternative is "object, subject".

Analyze the following excerpt and choose the option that best
explains the relationship between the relative clause and its
antecedent.
 
An official with the California Air Resources Board, [which
oversees the state's carbon-offset program], declined to
comment on CarbonPlan's findings.

The nonrestrictive relative clause contains essential
information to define its referent "official", explaining
his duties.
 The nonrestrictive relative clause provides omissible
information on the function ofits referent, "the
California Air Resources Board".
The relative adverbial explains how its referent, "the
California Air Resources Board", intends to reduce
carbon emissions.
The restrictive relative clause provides omissible
information on the function of its referent, "the
California Air Resources Board".
The restrictive relative clause refines its referent
"official", explaining his duties.
Respondido em 22/04/2022 16:16:39
Explicação:
The use of the relative pronoun "which" is indicative of the
fact that the referent of the relative clause is non-human, in
this case, "the California Air Resources Board". Besides, the
use of comma or dash to set apart the relative clause from
the main clause is a distinctive trait of nonrestrictive relative
clauses. Nonrestrictive relative clauses provide additional
information, that is, information that is omissible. The only
correct option is thus: The nonrestrictive relative clause
provides omissible information on the function of its referent,
"the California Air Resources Board".

You have learned that nonrestrictive relative clauses can refer
to a noun phrase or to the main clause as a whole. When its
referent is just a noun phrase, the nonrestrictive relative
clause plays the role of an appositive. In the excerpt below,
the nonrestrictive relative clause has been reduced, following
the principles of the relative pronoun + verb to be deletion
rule. Choose the option that best rephrases the statement
below, while also eliciting the previously deleted relative
pronoun and verb to be.
 
But experts say the wildfires have highlighted one of the main
weaknesses in the program ¿ the small size of the so-called
buffer pool, a bureaucratic term for an insurance policy against
disasters like fires.

Respondido em 22/04/2022 16:18:04
Explicação:
Two relative pronouns could be used here: either that or
which, since the noun phrase it refers to is a non-human
antecedent (that is, "one of the main weaknesses in the
program"). However, since a dash or a comma has to be used
to keep apart the main clause and the nonrestrictive relative
clause, only the relative pronoun "which" can be used in this
case. The relative pronoun "that" is not used in nonrestrictive
relative clauses. The only correct option is then: ¿But experts
say the wildfires have highlighted one of the main weaknesses
in the program - which is the small size of the so-called buffer
pool, (...)".

Sentences in English have interesting characteristics. In terms
of word order patterns, it is correct to affirm that:
 interrogative sentences do not follow the prototypical
canonical SV word order.
negative sentences do not follow the prototypical
canonical SV Word order.
affirmative sentences do not follow the prototypical
canonical SV Word order.
interrogative sentences follow the prototypical
canonical SV Word order.
negative sentences follow the prototypical canonical VS
Word order.
Respondido em 22/04/2022 16:19:28
Explicação:
In English interrogative sentences are the only ones not to
follow the prototypical canonical SV word order. Affirmative
and negative sentences thus follow what is considered to be
the canonical word order, that is, SV (subject-verb).
Interrogative sentences are the exception to the rule.

Full verbs are lexical items whose main function is to carry
meaning. Which option contains an example of the word have
as a full verb?
Has she done it yet?
She has been to London.
She¿s finished
 She has a sweet tooth.
She has to exercise every day.
Respondido em 22/04/2022 16:20:12
Explicação:
A verb is considered to be a full verb, when it plays the role of
the main verb in a verb phrase. In "She has been to London",
"Has she done it yet?" and "She's finished" the present perfect
is being used, meaning that the verb to have is actually the
auxiliary verb in the sentences in question. In "She has to
exercise every day", the verb to have is a semi-modal. The
only option in which have is a synonym for possess or owe is
in the sentence "She has a sweet tooth", which is the correct
option.
