Clauses: Building and Refining Compound and Complex Sentences — Quiz

Question 27 • English Language Arts 10

Read the paragraph. Spring arrives suddenly. Buds appear on the rosebushes. Shoots are sprouting from the ground. The fruit trees are in flower. Wherever you look, new plant life is basking in the warm spring sun. How does the underlined sentence add variety and meaning to the writing? Choose three correct answers.

Answer
A
by combining ideas in a complex sentence
B
by addressing the reader
C
by changing the topic
D
by combining ideas in compound sentence
E
by introducing a new idea

Explanation

“Wherever you look, new plant life is basking in the warm spring sun” introduces the broader idea that signs of spring are all around. It addresses the reader directly with “you,” and it is a complex sentence: “Wherever you look” is a dependent clause joined to the main clause. It does not change the topic, which remains spring plant growth.
