Unit 2, Lesson 4 Green Team

Reading: Long Passages Unit 2

Strategy: Mark the Long Passages Skim the question stems for the passages written by Louisa May Alcott. Read the passage, marking important words and phrases as you go. Identify any opinions Identify the purpose of each paragraph Underline any key words or ideas Include brief notes in the margin Answer the questions.

Writing Multiple Choice: Sentence Corrections Unit 2

Review: Sentence Corrections 1.Playing ball, swimming in the pool, and a diet without starchy foods help keep his weight down. A.a diet without starchy foods help B.avoiding starchy foods help C.dieting without starchy foods helps D.avoiding starchy foods helps E.a diet without starchy foods helped

Review: Sentence Corrections B is correct To maintain parallel structure with playing and swimming the verb avoiding is required. The verb must agree with a compound (plural) subject

Review: Sentence Corrections 2. Seatbelts, while unquestionably a good idea, it’s sometimes a nuisance to use them. A. Seatbelts, while unquestionably a good idea, it’s sometimes a nuisance to use them. B. Seatbelts, while unquestionably a good idea, are sometimes a nuisance. C. Seatbelts are unquestionably a good idea and also they are sometimes a nuisance. D. Seatbelts, while unquestionably a good idea, but sometimes a nuisance. E. Seatbelts, while it’s unquestionably a good idea to have them, it’s sometimes a nuisance to use them.

Review: Sentence Corrections B is correct Seatbelts needs a verb, and it keeps the sentence from making sense Choice C offers the verb, but it’s too wordy and awkward

Review: Sentence Corrections 3. Your application for a scholarship arriving late, however: it will still be considered by the committee. A. arriving late, however; it will still be considered by the committee B. arrived late, however the committee will consider it still C. arrived late; however, the committee will still consider it D. will be considered by the committee that arrived late E. arriving late and is being considered by the committee

Review: Sentence Corrections C is correct however is not a coordinating conjunction (FANBOYS), so it cannot be used to join independent clauses with a comma. B is out. Option D confuses the modifier. The other options do not create complete sentences.

Review: Sentence Corrections 4. Living in the city for the first time, the traffic noise, she found, disrupted her sleep. A.the traffic noise, she found, disrupted her sleep B.she found that the traffic noise disrupted her sleep C.she found out how the traffic noise disrupted her sleep D.her sleep, she found, was disrupted by the traffic noise E.her sleep disrupted, she found, by traffic noise

Review: Sentence Corrections B is correct The original sentence says traffic noise lives in the city; the modifier is connected to the wrong subject. B provides the correct subject for the modifier. C also provides the correct subject, but that should be used in place of how.
