Answer: D Explanation: D) Conjunctions such as nevertheless, however, but, and therefore are useful for connecting one paragraph, phrase, or sentence to another. Answer: C Explanation: C) A cause and effect paragraph focuses on two things: an event that took place and why that event took place. The event that took place is the effect. The reason for why the Answer: Sentences come in four basic varieties: simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex. A simple sentence has one main clause (a single subject and a single predicate), although it may be expanded by nouns and pronouns that serve as objects of the action and by modifying phrases. A compound sentence has two main clauses that express two or more independent but related thoughts of equal importance, usually joined by or, but, or and. A complex sentence expresses one main thought (the independent clause) and one or more subordinate, related thoughts (dependent clauses that cannot stand alone as valid sentences). A compound-complex sentence has two main clauses, at least one of which contains a subordinate clause. Answer: A Explanation: A) The topic sentence introduces the subject or main idea of the paragraph. Support sentences enhance and justify the topic sentence by providing explanation, details, examples, reasoning, and other forms of evidence that make the topic sentence more meaningful, truthful, convincing, or believable. Answer: TRUE Explanation: Placing a dependent clause at the beginning or end of a sentence provides it with more emphasis in most cases. Answer: E Explanation: E) You can emphasize these key ideas through your sentence style. One obvious technique is to give important points the most space. When you want to call attention to a thought, use extra words to describe it. Answer: D Explanation: D) A compound-complex sentence has two main clauses, at least one of which contains a subordinate clause.
