PLEASE EXPLAIN!! :D</p>
<p>1- [ALTHOUGH both A] birds are known for [their distinctive B] songs,BUT
the rufous songlark has a [sweeter C] song [than has D] the brown songlark.E</p>
<p>A. when u use ALTHOUGH, u don’t need BUT and the opposite is correct because both indicate contrast.</p>
<p>2)D. because there is no verb, it is a fragment. Only choice D results in complete sentence</p>
<p>3)D. This is a comma splice, which means that 2 sentences are joined by only by a comma</p>
<p>Hope that helps! :)</p>
<p>for number3, is C wrong because it is sentence fragment?? or wordy?</p>
<p>Bushbunnie, C is wrong because it creates a fragment on the right side of the semicolon. Both sides must be able to stand alone as complete sentences.</p>
<p>how is it possible that d is the right choice, for me it seems to have a run-on error </p>
<p>after a comma there is a verb" found" on choice d so i thought it was a run on help plz</p>
<p>d is one of those past participles introduced with a pronoun used as a subordinating clause… we can do this with present participles too and appositives too or some crap like that i dunno but its like this</p>
<p>The workers are dying of dehydration, their bodies withered from the heat.</p>
<p>He was a fool, his every remark a joke.</p>
<p>I am singing, my voice screeching with joy.</p>
<p>these are not fragmented sentences as the nonnative speaker will often assume</p>
<p>this is kik azz yolo english</p>
<p>or maybe its an adjectival or adverbial clause. whatever… u have understand that found is not being as another verb. its being used as a type of adjectival clause. hence its not fragmented or a run on</p>
<p>let me tell you about ‘of which’ and ‘of whom’ on the sat. they are always used after a comma. like this</p>
<p>There are seven boys, some of whom are tall.</p>
<p>I saw ten buildings, one of which was red. </p>
<p>semicolons come between two complete sentences</p>
<p>I have two dogs, one of which is black.
I have two dogs, one of them is black.</p>
<p>For some reason, nonnatives have difficulty understanding why b is wrong and a correct, although its obvious that b is a comma splice or run on…</p>
<p>the common question is. well isnt the first sentence a run on too. but its not. its like relative pronoun that connects the two clauses we need to get a grammarian on here to provide the exact grammatical concepts. because the ones youre missing. 8 out of 10 will miss and theyre excellent qs. type 5
difficulty level</p>
<p>thanks a lot that really helps !!!</p>
<p>just one more question, so you are saying that past participle can be used as a clause that describes a noun. in this case animal ???</p>
<p>New Zealand A(had fostered) a thriving local music scene B(for decades), but it was not until the late 1980s C(when) New Zealand musicians began D(to reach) international audiences. E(no error).</p>
<p>donny kim i have one more question.
on the question above, doenst A have to be have fosterd ??? and how is c wrong ??? i thought when descibes time??</p>
<p>had fostered is correct because the past perfect (had+ed/en) indicates that one action in the past (in this case, the fostering) occurred before another past action (reaching the height of its popularity in the 1980s). when is incorrect because idiomatically ‘not until’ is used with ‘that’. so yes ‘when’ is often used as a pronoun after time periods, but it can also be incorrect, as in this case, depending on the context or idiomatic structure in which it is used</p>
<p>(begn reaching international audiences) i meant. im using my iphone cant see your post as i type a reply</p>
