A. Walking with a limp as a result of the thorn.
B. I walked all three dogs around the park this morning.
C. Running through the park before breakfast.

A complete sentence must have a subject and a predicate that expresses a complete thought.

Therefore, the Correct Answer is B.

Q #5: 1) Initially, we constructed experiments that explored new relationships among six major systems of the human body: circulatory, digestive, muscular, nervous, reproductive, and respiratory. 2) We believe that this work will revolutionize our understanding of human behavior. 3) Then, we discovered, through a series of curious events and calculations, that these systems were all intricately involved in a kind of psychic economy. 4) Our experimental research project has focused on what we call the Psycho-Physical Performance Scale. 5) Therefore, we ultimately chose to classify different triggers of human actions and productions according to these new relationships. Which of the following best orders these sentences to form a well-organized paragraph?

B. 1, 3, 4, 2, 5
C. 2, 1, 3, 5, 4
D. 2,4,1,3,5

Q #6: Fill in the blanks. The class is nervous about _____ first exam.
A. its'
B. its
C. it's
D. they're
Answer Explanation
In the given sentence, "the class" is a singular noun and requires a singular possessive pronoun. "Its" is the correct form of the possessive pronoun "it" to use with a singular noun, as opposed to "it's," which is a contraction of "it is" and would not be appropriate in this context. "They're" is a contraction of "they are" and would not be appropriate because "class" is singular, not plural.

Q #9: Which of the following is a complex sentence?
A. I brushed my teeth while the coffee brewed.
B. Time was running short, so I hurriedly brushed my teeth while breakfast was warming up.
C. Since time was running short, I hurriedly brushed my teeth while breakfast was warming up.
D. I used the time while the coffee was brewing to brush my teeth.
Answer Explanation
A complex sentence is one that contains an independent clause and at least one dependent clause.
In Choice C: "Since time was running short, I hurriedly brushed my teeth while breakfast was warming up," we have an independent clause: "I hurriedly brushed my teeth," and a dependent clause: "Since time was running short." The dependent clause cannot stand alone as a complete sentence, so it depends on the independent clause for its meaning. This combination of an independent and dependent clause makes Choice C a complex sentence.
The other choices are not complex sentences because they either lack a dependent clause or do not have the same level of complexity in their structure.

D. Prolonged sun exposure can result in a burn.
Answer Explanation
This sentence presents a specific statistic that may not be common knowledge and is not the author's original idea, so it requires a citation to give credit to the source of this information. A citation is needed to show where this statistic came from, who conducted the study, and when it was conducted. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.
