<p>Nicknamed the supergrain of the future, quinoa is a complete (protein, one that contains all the necessary amino acids and is) high in fiber</p>
<p>a. no change
b. protein, it contains all the necessary amino acids and is</p>
<p>why is the answer a and not b?</p>
<p>Both her work on community service projects and her dedication (to learning) (has gained) Ms. Stevens the (respect of) the (entire) faculty.</p>
<p>Why is the answer to learning?</p>
<p>Letter B can only work if there is a semicolon…and also there is no conjunction. </p>
<p>For the second one, i would have said, “has gained” because it should be “have gained”. I don’t think “to learning” is the correct answer. Maybe you should double check THE CB book.</p>
<p>1) When you stop after a noun is introduced (Nicknamed the supergrain of the future, quinoa is a complete protein) and use a comma, everything after usually describes the noun. So saying “one that contains all the necessary amino acids and is high in fiber” describes the protein without using a complete sentence, which is correct. If you say “it contains…” after the comma, it is as if you are starting a new sentence when you really aren’t.</p>
<p>correct: I am a person, a man that everybody fears.
incorrect: I am a person, I am a man that everybody fears.</p>
<p>2) The sentence is trying to say that she has a dedication to learn. “To learn” is being used as an action. She has a dedication to LEARN because she wants to learn. “Learning” is being used as a noun in the incorrect case. Only time you say “dedication to [noun]” is when you are giving a dedication to something or someone, i.e. dedication to MJ</p>
<p>This is a little late but isn’t the no change form, </p>
<p>Nicknamed the supergrain of the future, quinoa is a complete protein, one that contains all the necessary amino acids and is high in fiber</p>
<p>have incorrect parallelism. The phrase “one that contains” has a verb. Or am i just misinformed and only the first part has to agree to the parallelism so it would be incorrect only if “one that” was taken off? But then would this sentence be correct?</p>
<p>Swimming is a sport that requires strength, one that requires willpower, and endurance. That doesn’t seem right to me.</p>
<p>^^ Very late, and the original sentence has parallel structure. </p>
<p>Quino is a complete protein, one that … contains … and is …</p>
<p>Swimming is a sport that requires strength, one that requires willpower, and endurance. That doesn’t seem right to me. </p>
<p>-- this sentence is a bit different. if you really wanted to make a sentence that was very similar in structure to the original, it would read:</p>
<p>Swimming is a demanding sport, one that requires willpower and endurance.
I changed strength → something modifying sport to mimick the “complete protein.”</p>
<p>Oh I see. I thought “is” was where the list was starting so complete protein would be part of the listing.</p>
<p>I get it now thanks Lipp</p>
<p>Can we please establish the answer to the second question? Why is the error not “has gained?”</p>
<p>the error is “has gained”…don’t know why the op says its to learning.</p>
The correction is (have gained) because the subject is plural (BOTH …and…)
The old house AND the other house HAVE BOTH been placed. Plural subject.
