earth and here's our question the last sentence of the
- 00:18
passage beginning online seventy two is an example of what
- 00:22
and hear the potential answers are commissioned The best way
- 00:25
to decide what kind of sentence or klaus we're dealing
- 00:27
with is to see if it answers to santa or
- 00:31
maybe it's to look at the definition for each answer
- 00:33
and decide which best matches our sentence so let's go
- 00:36
with that one are check out in saray first the
- 00:38
definition of a comparative sense is a sentence that compares
- 00:42
to things an example would be we absolutely love oreos
- 00:46
while steve does not because he's a heartless creep Well
- 00:48
the sentences comparative because it compares us normal oreo loving
- 00:52
people Too weird steve Anyway if we look at the
- 00:55
last sense of the passage there aren't really two different
- 00:58
things being compared so we can get rid of answering
- 01:00
Now let's take a look at answers cnd and elliptical
- 01:03
Klaus is not an excuse to get out of a
- 01:05
workout it's actually a clause where some words have been
- 01:08
left out on purpose as the meaning of the sense
- 01:10
can be understood without them An example would be we
- 01:13
like oreos but steve doesn't we're missing the full predicated
- 01:16
The second sentence without a lip says the sense would
- 01:19
be we like oreos but steve doesn't like oreos The
- 01:22
four clauses in our sentence don't look like they're missing
- 01:25
any words so answer c is out meanwhile in independent
- 01:29
clauses a clause that doesn't need mrs claus in his
- 01:31
life but for our purposes it's a complete simple sense
- 01:35
in our sentence the first three clauses that begin with
- 01:37
the word if you need the final statement to finish
- 01:40
the thought but this entire sentence is anything but simple
- 01:43
there's way more than one verb and we lost count
- 01:45
of the subjects x so we can cross off answer
- 01:47
date and a compound senses a sentence made up of
- 01:50
two independent clauses In other words one sentence made up
- 01:53
of two or more smaller senses that would each be
- 01:56
fine standing on their on their usually joined by coordinating
- 02:00
conjunctions like and and but and can be separated with
- 02:03
a period But if we took out and in this
- 02:05
sense and replaced it with a period we'd be left
- 02:08
with an incomplete sentence like welcome to european fellowship one
- 02:11
of the audio data so we can cross off ansari
- 02:14
The author uses the word if three times and then
- 02:17
uses the word then kind of like when your mom
- 02:19
says if you clean up your room then you can
- 02:21
have your oreos unless you're steve who knows what's safe
- 02:24
mom motivated him with in our sentence the author says
- 02:27
that america can be welcomed into european fellowship on the
- 02:30
condition that they accomplished the three things mentioned at the
- 02:33
beginning of the sentence It doesn't get much more conditional
- 02:36
than that so answer b is the correct choice Q
- 02:39
That was exhausting Go reward yourself with some oreos Unless
- 02:42
you're steve and continue living Your sad oriole is life 00:02:45.01 --> [endTime] steve
