Plz help im timed Read the excerpt from "Light Bulb Moment." Jake trudged up his driveway. It wasn't just the seawater and backpack studies that had failed. Every science fair project he'd ever done had flopped. His first-grade attempt to crack the canine communication code yielded nothing but bigger tail wags in the presence of cheddar cheese. So, Jake's dreams of creating translation posters for veterinarians were dashed. In second grade his efforts to transform his school into an environmentally friendly building had only served to get him into big trouble when he planted lettuce in all of the teachers' coffee mugs. Then in third grade he tried to solve the energy crisis by using hamster wheels to generate electricity. He figured that he needed about 20,000 hamsters to power a small family home. Well, his mom put an end to that bit of research quicker than he could say, "rodent power." "This year is going to be different," Jake said to himself. The description of Jake in this excerpt shows Jake has which character trait?

persistence

weakness

honor

truthfulness

the words "strangest" and "unusual" suggest (:

it's analogy i just took this quiz

1. an introductory word, phrase, or clause which is missing the word(s) it is supposed to modify- dangling modifier

words, clauses or phrases which add description is known as a modifier. a modifier is found before or after the target words that they want to describe.

for example: happily, she ran towards her father.

herein, happily precedes 'she', its target.

whereas, when an author forgets to mention the target and includes the modifier thus it is known as a dangling modifier, wherein modifier has nothing to describe. these are the errors which confuse the reader.

2. a noun or pronoun's function within a sentence- elliptical clause

it is a clause in which words are being left out. on the other hand, the missing word is understood due to the logic or pattern of the sentence.

for example:

she had five apples;   kanishk, three.

herein the verb 'had' is missing which is otherwise understood.

3. to quickly run: split infinitive

it refers to the construction of the sentence in which infinitive consists with the word or an adverb between to and verb.

for example, he used to secretly ate those apples.

4. a clause with either an implied subject or verb: elliptical clause

5. a word that joins words or phrases of the same grammatical type: coordinating conjunctions are the words which connect clauses and phrases. there are seven coordinating conjunctions that are, yet, so, or, for, and, nor, and but.

for example:

the boy refused to complete the homework nor will he take the punishment.

'and' is the coordinating conjunction.

7. pronoun with no specific antecedent: indefinite pronouns are the pronouns which do not refer to anyone specifically.

for example several, nobody, some and so forth.

8. a pair of words like either/or: correlative conjunctions

these are the pairs of conjunctions used in a sentence to join elements together. these are, , not also, and so forth.

9. masculine and feminine forms: gender

gender refers to the cultural, psychological and behavioral traits that are associated with a particular sex.
