If you are coming to the party, please
bring a healthy snack.
A compound-complex
B compound
C complex
D simple
© Mark E. Damon - All Rights Reserved
$400
The correct answer is Choice (C) complex. The
first part of the sentence (If you are coming to
the party) is a dependent clause; it begins with
a subordinating conjunction and cannot stand
alone.
The second part of the sentence (please bring a
healthy snack) is an independent clause; it does
form a complete thought.
Together, these two clauses create a complex
sentence.

The correct answer is Choice (C) after

One way to combine two independent
clauses is to use a semicolon and a
transitional adverb. “However”
is the transitional adverb; therefore, the

What organizational method is used in the paragraph?
Because blue light has one of the shortest wavelengths, it hits
the particles in the atmosphere and reflects off of them. This
scatters the blue light all around the sky. When you look up,
this scattered blue light reaches your eyes, making the sky
look blue during daytime hours.
A. cause and effect
B. chronological order
C. question and answer
D .similarity and difference
© Mark E. Damon - All Rights Reserved
$400
The correct answer is Choice (A) cause and effect.
The words because, when, and making all signal a series of
cause-and-effect relationships. Short wavelengths cause
blue light to “hit particles in the atmosphere,” and these
collisions have two effects: The blue light “reflects off” of
the particles and “scatters the blue light.” “When”
(meaning if) someone looks upward so that “scattered
blue light” enters his or her eyes (a cause), the daytime
sky appears blue (an effect).
