<p>Just post which ones you chose or are wondering about
-.- People would rather not give an explanation for why each of the other 4 choices are wrong.</p>
<p>1: Theodore Roosevelt was not just a great reformer.
2: He was also a great president.
Notice how both 1 and 2 are simple sentences; each clause is a sentence that can stand on its own. By using a semicolon, you are putting the two independent clauses (simple sentences) together. This is grammatical.</p>
<p>B is incorrect because the “and” doesn’t provide a proper contrast between “he was not a great reformer” and “he was also a great president.”</p>
<p>C is incorrect because the semicolon is supposed to separate two independent clauses that can stand on their own as simple sentences, but it does not here: “but also a great president” is not a sentence.</p>
<p>D is incorrect because there should be an independent clause (simple sentence) before the conjunction “but.” In I ate dinner, but I didn’t pay for it, “I ate dinner” is an independent clause because it can be its own sentence: “I ate dinner.” “Great not just as reformer” is not a simple sentence. “He was great not just as reformer” would be a simple sentence.</p>
<p>E would be correct if the “as” were deleted, because then “Not just a reformer” would modify “Theodore Roosevelt” (he was not just a reformer).
Answer is E.</p>
<p>“Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow PUSH Coalition, established to encourage diverse populations to become socially and politically active, was created in 1996 by the merging of 2 groups Jackson had previously founded.”
The bold part describes the Coalition. “established” is equivalent to “which was established…” The coalition, which was established to encourage social and political activity, was created in 1996 by two of Jackson’s groups. The coalition was created in 1996 by two of Jackson’s groups.</p>
<p>A is essentially saying this: Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow PUSH Coalition was established, was created… This isn’t a coherent sentence.</p>
<p>B is saying the same thing: The Coalition is established…, was created…</p>
<p>C is saying this: The Coalition, establishing to encourage social and political activity, was created in 1996… “establishing…” describes the Coalition, saying that the Coalition was establishing something. The sentence wants to say that the Coalition was established, not that it was establishing something.</p>
<p>D is wrong because “which being established” should be “which was established.” </p>
<p>Here are examples of other sentences that have the similar construction:
I drank a bottle of water, made to be drunk by people just like me.</p>
<p>I threw a football, which cost me $50, to my friend.</p>
<p>The practical telephone, invented by Alexander Graham Bell, is one of the most influential devices ever.</p>
<p>The man, sleeping on the street, was very dirty.</p>
<p>The group, established to advocate human rights, was created in 1975.
Answer is E.</p>
<p>“including…” describes “many difficult choices.” The “many difficult choices” INCLUDE something. She forced herself to leave the house of Mr. Rochester. One of her choices was forcing herself to leave the house of Mr. Rochester. Her choices include forcing herself to leave the house of Mr. Rochester. In other words “choices” and “forcing” are two actions, so “choices, including forcing” is correct because “including” tells you one example of “choices.” I hope that made sense.</p>
<p>A is incorrect because it doesn’t connect “choices” to an action (a choice). “when she forces” is a time period because “when” denotes time.</p>
<p>B suffers the same problem as A, and more.</p>
<p>C is incorrect because “by forcing” tells you how something occurred (“I drank the milk by tipping the carton toward my mouth”); it doesn’t give you an example of one of the choices.</p>
<p>“one that contains all the necessary amino acids and is high in fiber” describes “a complete protein”: it is telling you what it is.</p>
<p>Here is an example of a sentence with the same structure:
I was given a present, one that apparently was very expensive, for Christmas.
The bold phrase tells you what the present is: It is one that apparently was very expensive.</p>
<p>B is incorrect because it is making the bold phrase a simple sentence, which it cannot be. You cannot say “I was given a present, it was very expensive, for Christmas.” You would need dashes, or parentheses, because commas can’t hold an independent clause: “I was given a present – it was very expensive – for Christmas” or “I was given a present (it was very expensive) for Christmas.”</p>
<p>C is incorrect because “and” in that context is misplaced. The sentence would be correct if the “and” weren’t there: Nicknamed the supergrain of the future, quinoia is a complete protein, containing all the necessary amino acids in addition to being high in fiber.</p>
<p>D is incorrect because “contained” is past tense. The sentence is talking about the qualities of a protein, so the verb should be in the present tense.</p>
<p>E is incorrect because the part following the semicolon is not an independent clause (simple sentence).</p>
<p>crazy, you truly are crazy. i don’t know if you’re a senior like silver or what but i know you will either go to a ridiculous school or you will be ridiculous at whatever you do.</p>
<p>Actually I’m a freshman in a really average college. I got a high SAT score but the average SAT score at my school is like 1600. I know I’m good at explanations and grammar, but that doesn’t mean I had good grades in high school lol</p>
