Respuesta :

4. Introductory clause, phrase, or word: "Although..." can not be a complete idea by itself. Only the phrase after the comma is.
5. Joins two main clauses using comma + but. Each part of the sentence before and after the comma are independent ideas.
6. Nonrestrictive modifier: "the technical name for fish farming" is extra information that defines aquaculture.
7. 
Aqueducts, which are manmade systems to transport water, have been around since ancient times.  which...water is a nonrestrictive phrase that should be set off by commas.
8. Nonrestrictive modifier. 
9. items in a series: swamps, lakes, coastal areas...
10. Intorductory phrase. "In China" introduces where...

* I think some options are missing in the answers because some answers do not fall in any of the category given in the options. I have added an option "none of the above" if the sentence does not fall into any of the categories.

b) separates coordinate adjectives (adjectives that independently modify the same noun)

c) joins two main clauses

d) sets off an introductory clause, phrase, or word

QUESTION 4: Although people have been farming fish for many years, scientific fish farming is a fairly recent development.


The answer for question 4 is not in the list (none of the above). The sentence does not suit any of the ones given in the list because it is not joining to main clauses as there is only one main clause. This is not an introductory clause as we cannot start the introduction with the word “although”. There are no nonrestrictive modifiers or coordinate adjectives in the sentence. The sentence does not separate items in a series. The word “although” is a CONTRAST IDEA in expectation. Therefore, the answer is (f) NONE OF THE ABOVE. Hence, this does not fall into any of the categories given in the list.


QUESTION 5: Aquaculture is less extensive in the United States, but it is becoming more common every year.


The answer for question 5 is (b) because “less extensive” and “more common” are adjectives which are separate coordinate adjectives modifying the same noun i.e. “Aquaculture”. The answer is (b) separates coordinate adjectives (adjectives that independently modify the same noun)







QUESTION 6: Aquaculture, the technical name for fish farming, also occurs in many other Asian countries.


The answer for question 6 is (a) separates coordinate adjectives (adjectives that independently modify the same noun). The sentence has the connector “also” meaning adding more ideas to the existing definition. This sentence is broken down into three parts. “Aquaculture, the technical name for fish farming, also occurs in many other Asian countries. The commas separate the items in a series in this case the definition. We add “also” connector when we would like to add more ideas to the existing one.





QUESTION 7:


a) Aqueducts, which are manmade systems to transport water, have been around since ancient times.

b) Aqueducts which are manmade systems to transport water, have been around since ancient times.

c) Aqueducts, which are manmade systems to transport water have been around since ancient times.

d) No change


The answer for question 7 is (a). The sentence has a nonrestrictive modifier “which” refers to “Aqueducts” when removed from the sentence does not lose the meaning of the sentence. The correct answer is Aqueducts, which are manmade systems to transport water, have been around since ancient times. This sentence can also be written as “Aqueducts (which) are manmade systems to transport water have been around since ancient times.







QUESTION 8: Fish can also be raised in cages and raceways, which help to protect the newly born until they are old enough to be released.


The answer for question 8 is (f) NONE OF THE ABOVE because if we remove the word “which” it does not make sense as it is a “restrictive modifier”. If we remove the word “which” refers to “cages and raceways”, there would be a gap and does not complete the sentence. Hence, this does not fall into any of the categories given in the list.



QUESTION 9: Fish can be farmed in swamps, lakes, coastal areas, and ponds.


The answer for question 9 is (a) separates items in a series because fish can be farmed in swamps, lakes, coastal areas, and ponds. Fishing can be done anywhere like “swamp”, “lakes”, “coastal areas”, and “ponds” and the commas separate them in the series.



QUESTION 10: In China, nearly half the fish supply comes from fish farms.


The answer for question 10 is (d - sets off an introductory clause, phrase, or word) because the sentence starts with “In China” as a definitive place of fish supply. This sentence sets off an introductory clause, phrase or word (“In China”) and the fish supply is attributed to the fish farms. The link of fish supply coming from fish farms occurs in China. Hence, it is an introductory clause, phrase or word.
