Daily Starters August 27th to 31st Syntax

Monday “The seven years’ difference in our ages lay between us like a chasm: I wondered if these years would ever operate between us as a bridge.” -James Baldwin, “Sonny’s Blues” What function does the colon serve in this sentence? List and label the subjects and verbs

Thursday Although some think the terms "bug" and "insect" are ---- , the former term actually refers to ---- group of insects. (A) parallel . . an identical (B) precise . . an exact (C) interchangeable . . a particular (D) exclusive . . a separate (E) useful . . a useless

Tuesday “The seven years’ difference in our ages lay between us like a chasm: I wondered if these years would ever operate between us as a bridge.” - James Baldwin, “Sonny’s Blues” How would the meaning and impact of the sentence change if the sentence read as follows: “The seven years’ difference in our ages lay between us like a chasm, and I wondered if these years would ever operate between us as a bridge.”

Wednesday “The seven years’ difference in our ages lay between us like a chasm: I wondered if these years would ever operate between us as a bridge.” - James Baldwin, “Sonny’s Blues” Write two independent clauses; join the two with a colon, giving emphasis to the independent clause which follows the colon. Use Baldwin’s sentence as a model.

Thursday Cont’d The word "although" indicates that the two parts of the sentence contrast with each other: although most people think about the terms one way, something else is actually true about the terms. Choice C is correct because it presents a situation where most people think of the two terms as interchangeable, but the first of the two terms, bugs, actually refers to particular group of insects.

Friday The novel's protagonist, a pearl diver, naïvely expects that the buyers will compete among themselves to pay him the best price for his pearl, but instead they ---- to ---- him. (A) venture . . reward (B) pretend . . praise (C) conspire . . reimburse (D) refuse . . cheat (E) collude . . swindle

Friday Cont’d Since the pearl diver expected the buyers "to compete among themselves to pay him the best price," the correct answer must be two words that make the last clause describe an opposite situation. Choice (E) is the answer, because with these words inserted in the sentence, the last clause now states that the buyers "collude" (or conspire) to "swindle" him.
