00:00

Sorry And here's your shmoop douceur brought to you by

00:05

peer pressure We didn't like it but well then our

00:08

friends got us into it Yeah All right Growing up

00:11

Two brothers Those ring on the tiller intothe Yeah and

00:17

we're just done Okay What change needs to be made

00:21

in sentence twelve and here's A potential answer Sorry Okay

00:25

Oh sentence While you have so many problems jimmy and

00:28

i would always try to get billy involved in our

00:30

dares and challenges but therefore he would never agree to

00:32

participate Well one problem actually Big one here Uh don't

00:37

count on option a to fix situation though changing i

00:40

to me is a bad bad idea Like a bat

00:42

is getting involved with any of jimmy and john schemes

00:45

The thing is that we can't use me here because

00:47

it's an object pronoun along with a noun jimmy the

00:51

subject pronoun i works is the subject of this sentence

00:54

And why would we want to use an object Pronoun

00:56

is a subject While we wouldn't we just have too

00:59

much respect for the english language And for felt C

01:02

is wrong because the verb structure is a ok as

01:05

is would always try totally agrees with would never agree

01:11

but if we switch to the past continuous for no

01:14

good reason with was not agreeing We're going to have

01:17

some serious verb disagreement on our hands and we don't

01:20

want to be around when verbs throwdown smackdown juggling All

01:24

right lastly will nix option b We can't think of

01:26

one reason that john auto eliminate and challenges unless he

01:30

has some kind of grudge against those words If so

01:32

he'd take it out on his own time shmoop has

01:34

bigger fish to fry So dee is the correct answer

01:37

This sentence will be good to go once we delete

01:39

the word Therefore word usually indicates that there's a logical

01:43

connection between the two ideas For example i came to

01:46

school covered in sardines therefore i have no more friends

01:50

therefore links the two ideas together in a way that

01:53

shows the second idea results logically from the first It

01:56

doesn't make sense to use therefore incense twelve because the

02:00

point is that billy didn't want to participate even though

02:03

they tried to get him involved Incidentally billy later won

02:06

the gold medal for resisting peer pressure by never joining 00:02:09.04 --> [endTime] any social media sites A good job billy
