Most trafficked females are exploited in commercial sex outlets. The U.S. State Department estimates that between 14,500 and 17,500 human trafficking victims are brought into the United States each year. Some advocacy groups claim this estimate is too low and place the number much higher; for instance, the Coalition Against Trafficking Women places the estimate of victims brought into the United States annually at 50,000. The United States is among the top three destination countries for sex traffickers, along with Japan and Australia. It is difficult to enforce laws against sex traffickers because it is easy to cross borders and victims are kept locked up as slaves. Sex traffickers who get caught are rarely convicted. Would-be witnesses, the victims themselves, are afraid to testify because those who have testified have experienced violence and intimidation. Sex trafficking is a growing problem, with relatively little attention being paid to it.

     The conditions inside cells must remain within a constant range, even if the surrounding environment changes. For example, a living cell must maintain a certain temperature--not too high and not too low. The cell must also take in nutrients, excrete wastes, and regulate its many chemical reactions to prevent a shortage or surplus of essential substances. Homeostasis is the process by which a cell or organism maintains the state of internal constancy, or equilibrium.

     Public access to both health information and health misinformation abounds. Americans spend billions of dollars on unproven, worthless, and sometimes dangerous health remedies, with more money spent on “disease-curing” quackery than on research to prevent or cure these same diseases. As women, we often want to attain the body and beauty promised via weight-loss gimmicks, miracle potions, or unnecessary elective surgeries. <span style="color:#000000;background:#7FFEE335">Knowledge about health products and health-care personnel, procedures, and facilities is valuable.

Each spring, rain and melting snow swell the river, which surges north through the Sudan and Egypt. Until the completion of the high dam at Aswan in 1968, every year the Nile flooded the plains downstream. When the waters receded, they left behind a layer of rich, fertile muck, and those alluvial deposits supported a remarkably productive agricultural economy throughout the Nile River Valley.

     <span style="color:#000000;background:#FEE335">(1) Are you suspicious that reality TV is pretty, well, *un*realistic? Consider shows like *The Bachelor,* *The Bachelorette,* and *Keeping Up with the Kardashians*.</span> Viewers are treated to romances and (sometimes) lavish weddings. Those marriages, however, last months at best. In 2011, for example, more than four million people tuned in to Kim Kardashian’s wedding (Ng, 2011), a union that lasted all of seventy-two days. In fact, the average couple is engaged for seventeen months before tying the knot (Fairchild Bridal Group, 2005), and the average marriage lasts seven years (OECD Family Database, 2010). 

     On shows like *Real Housewives,* interpersonal conflict is standard fare. <span style="color:#000000;background:#FEE335">(2) One study found that on *The Apprentice,* acts of interpersonal aggression (insults, arguments, an occasional punch) occurred nearly eighty-five times per hour (Coyne, Robinson, & Nelson, 2010).</span> That study also determined that just over half of all aggressive encounters on reality TV programs were engineered by the producers. So, what’s the truth? According to research that tracks conflict among friends using daily diary reports, friends generally report less than one conflict interaction per week (Burk *et al.,* 2009). 

     Reality TV viewing might be a guilty pleasure or voyeurism (Baruh, 2010), and many of us hesitate to admit that we watch (Nabi *et al.,* 2006). But a lot of us are tuning in, eager for a taste of others’ “real behavior.” We get an opportunity to compare their lives to our own, to learn about how people interact, and to see what they do in unlikely situations. To borrow Bravo’s catchphrase, we “watch what happens” out of an undeniable curiosity: the need to know what other people are like. 

     <span style="color:#000000;background:#FEE335">(3) We have many other ways to feed this curiosity. Twitter claims more than 175 million users. Tracking someone else’s life, even in 140-character bites, is just plain interesting to many of us.</span> Through Facebook, blogs, and YouTube clips, we get a chance to see and try to understand what is arguably the most fascinating aspect of our lives: our interactions with others. Understanding people is also a key goal of the science of psychology. 

     <span style="color:#000000;background:#FEE335">(4) Psychologists are scientists who are interested in “watching what happens,” but in very different ways from what we see on reality TV. Psychologists bring a disciplined curiosity to explaining human behavior, relying on the methods of science.</span> Like a fan following a celebrity’s Twitter feed, psychologists are passionate about what they study—and what they study is people of all kinds. There is not a single thing about people that is not fascinating to some psychologist somewhere (King Chapter 1, page 1).

Then, from the choices below, identify in which sentence or sentences the thesis statement occurs.

     Meetings are one of the primary forums for teams to share and listen to one another's ideas. Because of the increasing importance of teams in the workplace, employees increasingly participate in project and interdepartmental teams. Meetings are an opportunity for teams to coordinate their efforts and increase productivity. Done well, they can be invigorating and produce new insights. 
     At their best, problem-solving meetings provide incredible return on investment. For example, NorTel evaluated its return on investment on a series of twelve two-day meetings with the express purpose of reducing manufacturing costs. Altogether, the company invested $500,000, but calculations indicated that it saved $91 million due to solutions developed during the meetings. 
     Yet, meetings have many trade-offs. The biggest drawback is that they take a lot of time. A survey of 150 financial executives found that, on average, they spent 7.8 hours per week in meetings. Over the course of a year, this amounted to 2.3 months of work. Ten years prior in this same survey, financial executives had averaged 6.0 hours per week in meetings, amounting to 1.8 months per year. 
     Bad meetings are more than just a waste of time. They can create division, lower morale, and decrease productivity. Thus, managers who run effective meetings help their teams work more productively and have better career opportunities. As you prepare to lead and participate in meetings, consider all phases of successful meetings: preparing for them, and following up afterward. 
￸￸%first sentence of the first paragraphIncorrect. The first sentence is a statement introducing the concept and purpose of meetings that reads more like a definition.￸thesis is impliedmIncorrect. While some texts include an implied thesis statement, this passage includes a clear central point.￸)last two sentences of the final paragraphxCorrect. The final two sentences explain that meetings can be run effectively if managers sufficiently prepare for them.㿰￸$last sentence of the final paragraphsIncorrect. The last sentence alone does not provide enough context to communicate the central point of the passage.￸

The problem is so severe that the U.S. State Department estimates that between 600,000 and 800,000 people are trafficked for forced labor and sex worldwide each year. Researchers estimate that approximately 80 percent of those trafficked are women and girls. Most trafficked females are exploited in commercial sex outlets. Prominent advocacy groups who specialize in researching and reporting on this issue have shed some much-needed light on the severity of the problem. One of these prominent groups is the Coalition Against Trafficking in Women (or CATW), which became the world’s first—and foremost—organization to combat international human trafficking. CATW places the estimate of victims brought into the United States annually at 50,000. The United States is among the top three destination countries for sex traffickers, along with Japan and Australia. It is difficult to enforce laws against sex traffickers because it is easy to cross borders and victims are kept locked up as slaves. Sex traffickers who get caught are rarely convicted. Would-be witnesses—the victims themselves—are afraid to testify because those who have testified have experienced violence and intimidation (4).

Today, many young people are delaying adulthood even further, often living with their parents well into their late twenties and even thirties—a trend that has become known as emerging adulthood. Social scientists, though, see what they call "emerging adulthood" as simply another example of how life stages are based on social definitions that vary over time and are influenced by broader social developments.

    Dr. Jeffrey Jensen Arnett, a professor of psychology and regularly published author, explains that: “in the past half century what most people experience during the years from age 18 to 29 has changed dramatically in industrialized societies. Instead of entering marriage and parenthood in their very early twenties, most people now postpone these transitions until at least their late twenties, and spend their late teens through their mid-twenties in self-focused exploration as they try out different possibilities in love and work” (jeffreyarnett.com, 1st par.). 

    Adulthood in the latter half of the twentieth century was often marked by the milestones of completing school, leaving home, becoming financially independent, marrying, and having a child. These milestones now occur later in life for many people. More young people are still living at home with a parent or parents today than was the case a half-century ago, changing family structures. For example, between 1960 and 2010, the proportion of 18-24 year olds who lived at home—including students attending college—increased by 22 percent (from 43.6 percent to 53.3 percent) (U.S. Census Bureau 2011b).

    One analysis that focused on 22-34 year olds found that, compared to those who had left home, those who still lived with their parents were more likely to be younger, enrolled in school, never married, and unemployed or disabled. Young adults with at least a bachelor's degree were half as likely to live with their parents as those with just a high school diploma.

Carefully conducted research tells us that it's fiction. The truth is that women and men speak approximately the same number of words per day: roughly 16,000 on average. The study that identified that finding took place between 1998 and 2005 and involved almost 400 students from universities in the United States and Mexico. Each participant wore a device called an electronically activated recorder, or EAR. The EAR is a digital voice recorder that unobtrusively tracks a person's real-world interactions with others by recording 30-second snippets of sound every 12.5 minutes while the person is awake. The researchers then transcribed each recording and counted the number of words spoken, analyzing them as a function of the percentage of waking time the EAR recorded. 

When the researchers compared the results by sex, they found that women and men spoke on average 16,215 and 15,669 words per day, respectively. Those totals were not significantly different and thus suggested that the stereotype that women are more talkative than men is more fiction than fact.

Social scientists mined this data to study the daily movements of 50,000 people for three months. (Out of privacy concerns, the data had been stripped of information that could tie it to specific individuals.)

The result? We are all, it seems, creatures of habit, much more predictable and much less spontaneous than we think. The researchers found that if you know where people have been--whatever their age, sex, or native langauge and whether they live in a city or in the country---you can accurately predict where they will be, on average, 93 percent of the time. We typically sleep at home (which, for students, might be a dorm room or an apartment), follow a routine in getting ready for and traveling to school or work, drop by the same coffee shop on the way, and spend the day at work or in classes. "Spontaneous individuals," one of the researchers concluded, "are largely absent from the population" (Barabasi 2010).

And although he writes about actual historical figures, he is unable to bring them to life. Consequently, readers who waste time on “Snivel’s drivel” will come away feeling frustrated and cheated. As a critic who has read thousands of books, I strongly recommend that instead of reading *The Queen’s Tea Party,* you fix yourself a nice cup of tea and read some other book.

Each household is headed by a single mother with at least two children over the age of three. The research data was gathered over a period of three months of in-home observations. The data was then classified according to Diana Baumrind’s four broad parenting styles: authoritative, authoritarian, indulgent, and neglectful. Using these four categories, the study determined the effects of each parenting style on the behavior of the children, as well as on parent-child relationships.

     The creative lives of many great composers can be divided into discrete periods. In Beethoven's case, scholars identify three great periods: During his first 32 years—his educational and formative years—he became established as a great composer. In his middle period (1802-1824), he produced many of his most famous works. In his final years (1824-1827), when he became totally deaf, he produced fewer but intensely serious and personal works.

Her research goals focus on the psychology of health and well-being, personality and individual differences, and issues related to the self and identity. Over the years, she has served as an editor or co-editor for various academic journals, including the *Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.* Her work has also been funded by the National institutes for Mental Health.

"Case Studies: Mahatma Gandhi as an Example" from Laura A. King's *Experience Psychology*</span>

<span style="font-size: 15px"> A *case study,* or *case history,* is an in-depth look at a single individual. ... A case study provides information about one person's goals, fantasies, fears, traumatic experiences, family relationships, health, or anything else that helps the psychologist understand the person's mind and behavior. ... An example of a case study is the analysis of India's spiritual leader Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948) by psychodynamic theorist Erik Erikson (1969). Erikson studied psychoanalysis in Germany before moving to the United States in 1933. Once in the U.S., Erikson became a professor at Harvard Medical School, while also maintaining a private practice that dealt mostly with child psychology. However, Erikson had other interests, too. In 1969, he wrote a book titled *Gandhi's Truth: On the Origins of Militant Nonviolence.* The book would go on to win the Pulitzer Prize in nonfiction, as well as the U.S. National Book Award, both extremely prestigious awards. To prepare for the book, Erikson studied Gandhi's life in great depth to discover insights into how his positive spiritual identity developed, especially during his youth. In piecing together Gandhi's identity development, Erikson described the contributions of culture, history, family, and various other factors that might affect the way other people form an identity (18-19).</span>

Dear Professor Gold,

     I want to thank you again for a wonderful semester. I really enjoyed our class – even though it was at 8 a.m.! I am, however, disappointed by my semester grade. I believe I earned higher than a B-. I completed all assignments on time, met with you every week during office hours, and revised each essay. Also, I took your suggestion to meet with a tutor in the Writing Center. To be honest, I didn’t really want to go because I’ve never liked strangers reading my writing, but I guess I went to improve my writing. Like I said, thanks again for a fun semester, and thank you for reconsidering my final grade.

In this failed attempt at historical fiction, Snivel includes reams of tedious detail and pointless descriptions. And although he writes about actual historical figures, he is unable to bring them to life. Consequently, readers who waste time on “Snivel’s drivel” will come away feeling frustrated and cheated. As a critic who has read many books and articles, I strongly recommend that instead of reading *The Queen’s Tea Party*, you fix yourself a nice cup of tea and read some other book.

With rare exceptions men were the rulers in both Egyptian and Nubian private as well as public life, and decisions about government policies rested mostly in men's hands.

     Yet women made their influence felt in ancient Egyptian and Nubian societies much more than in contemporary Mesopotamia. In Egypt, women of the royal family sometimes served as regents for young rulers. In one notable case, a woman took power as pharaoh herself: Queen Hatshepsut (reigned 1473–1458 b.c.e.) served as co-ruler with her stepson Tuthmosis III. However, the notion of a female ruler may have been unsettling to many Egyptians. In what seems to have been an effort to present her in unthreatening guise, a monumental statue of Queen Hatshepsut depicts her wearing the stylized beard traditionally associated with the pharaohs. In Nubia, in contrast, there is abundant evidence of many women rulers in the kingdom of Kush. Some ruled in their own right, others reigned jointly with male kings, and many governed also in the capacity of regents. Meanwhile, other women wielded considerable power as priestesses in the numerous religious cults observed in Egypt and Nubia. A few women also obtained a formal education and worked as scribes (35).

\center **The Coming of the Great Depression**

     “We in America today,” Herbert Hoover proclaimed in August 1928, “are nearer to the final triumph over poverty than ever before in the history of any land.” Only fifteen months later, those words would return to haunt him, as the nation plunged into the severest and most prolonged economic depression in its history—a depression that continued in one form or another for a full decade, not only in the United States but throughout much of the world.

     The sudden financial collapse in 1929 came as an especially severe shock because it followed so closely an era that appeared to offer economic miracles—miracles that seemed especially evident in the remarkable performance of the stock market. In February 1928, stock prices began a steady ascent that continued, with only a few temporary lapses, for a year and a half. Between May 1928 and September 1929, the average price of stocks rose over 40 percent. Trading mushroomed from 2 or 3 million shares a day to over 5 million, and at times to as many as 10 or 12 million. In short, a widespread speculative fever grew steadily more intense, particularly once brokerage firms began encouraging the mania by offering absurdly easy credit to those buying stocks.

***The Great Crash***

     In the autumn of 1929, the market began to fall apart. On October 29, “Black Tuesday,” after a week of growing instability, all efforts to save the market failed. Sixteen million shares of stock were traded; the industrial index dropped 43 points (or nearly 10 percent), wiping out all the gains of the previous year; stocks in many companies became virtually worthless. Within a month, stocks had lost half their September value, and despite occasional, short-lived rallies, they continued to decline for several years after that.

     Popular folklore has established the stock market crash as the beginning, and even the cause, of the Great Depression. But although October 1929 might have been the most visible early sign of the crisis, the Depression had earlier beginnings and other causes (551-552).

**Original Passage**

     The United States Supreme Court heads the least-known branch of the national government. Their members are not elected, and much of their work is completed outside of public view. They decide cases that define our basic rights and affect the quality of our lives. Because every case produces winners and losers, the Court faces the potential for eroding public support at any time.

**Excerpt from a Student’s Paper**

     As political scientists Joseph Losco and Ralph Baker imply, the irony of the United States Supreme Court is that the justices work largely out of the public eye, but have the capacity to greatly influence the lives of Americans: “Their members are not elected, and much of their work is completed outside of public view. They decide cases that define our basic rights and affect the quality of our lives. Because every case produces winners and losers, the Court faces the potential for eroding public support at any time” (380).

**Original Passage**

     All over the world, increasing industrialization is leading to higher levels of pollution. Pollution leads to global change because its effects can spread far from the source. Air and water become polluted when chemicals that are harmful to organisms are released into the ecosystem. The use of agricultural chemicals, such as pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers, has been widespread with devastating effects on animals. *Biological magnification* occurs when harmful chemicals become more concentrated as they pass up through the food chain.

**Student Writer’s Summary**

     Worldwide industrialization efforts have led to increased pollution. This, in turn, has created a chain reaction of global problems impacting everything from tiny organisms to larger animals.

**Passage:**     
     In *The Madonna of the Meadows,* Raphael has grouped the figures of Mary, the young John the Baptist (left), and the young Jesus (right) so that we perceive them as a single, triangular whole. Mary's head defines the apex, and John the Baptist the lower left corner. Defining the lower right corner is Mary's exposed foot, which draws our eye because of the way the pale flesh contrasts with the darker tones around it. If you place a finger over the foot, the implied triangle becomes much less definite, even though it is reinforced by Mary's red and blue robes.

**Summary:**
     The famous artist Raphael used a triangular method to feature the Biblical figures of Mary, John the Baptist (as a child), and Jesus (also as a child) in his painting *The Madonna of the Meadows.* By using a triangular shape to represent the three figures, viewers subconsciously identify the individuals as unified in a solitary group. (Getlein, 86)￸￸}Yes, because no signal phrase is used, and the author’s last name and the page number appear in parentheses after the period.€Incorrect. The citation should be inside the period, and a comma should not separate the author’s last name and the page number.￸yYes, because the author’s last name followed by a comma and the page number are in parentheses at the end of the summary.€Incorrect.

     In 2010, there were an estimated 1.2 million Americans living with the AIDS virus. But the United States represented only a tiny proportion of the worldwide total of people afflicted with HIV, an estimated 34 million people in 2010. Over two-thirds of those cases were concentrated in Africa. Governments and private groups, in the meantime, began promoting AIDS awareness in increasingly visible and graphic ways—urging young people, in particular, to avoid “unsafe sex” through abstinence or the use of latex condoms.

     A turning point in George W. Bush's political fortunes—and a major national catastrophe in its own right—was the impact of Hurricane Katrina, a hurricane of tremendous force that struck the Gulf Coast of Louisiana and Mississippi in late August 2005. The storm did terrible damage to many communities along the coast, but the most severe impact was on the city of New Orleans. Some of the levees that protected the city failed, and massive flooding destroyed large areas of New Orleans. The entire population of the city was evacuated, and a slow process of rebuilding began.

     The U.S. Department of Justice created the Amber Alert program to foster partnerships among law enforcement agencies, transportation agencies, and broadcast and wireless companies. The goal of the program is to return missing children to their caregivers by widely broadcasting information that would help recover the children. Information such as a description of the suspected kidnapper's car can be displayed across electronic highway signs and television screens. The Amber Alert program has been used in the successful recovery of more than 400 missing children.

Detailed notes and lengthy, technical information can distract listeners from the actual message. Even the act of passing materials around can be distracting for both the presenter and the listener. Hand out materials either right before or right after the presentation. Regardless of when you distribute materials, make sure that you reference them during your presentation. For instance, “The pamphlet that I passed around before identifies the location where the rally will take place,” and “At the end of my presentation I will provide you with a flier identifying the web address for the American Cancer Society” are ways to effectively reference your handout while speaking. You should also consider asking one or two members of the audience to pass out the materials so you can concentrate on your presentation.

     The son of a painter who taught drawing, Pablo Picasso showed talent as a child and was surrounded by people who knew how to nurture it. Like a Renaissance apprentice, he grew up so immersed in art that he mastered traditional techniques while still a teenager. He completed the remarkably mature *First Communion* in 1896 at the age of fifteen, the year he was accepted into art school. After graduation, Picasso moved from Barcelona to Paris, then the center of new directions in art. There he experimented with style after style. The one that launched him on his mature path would become known as Cubism, and it began to take form in paintings such as *Seated Woman Holding a Fan.*

Like many college students, Reema was sucked into the trap of easy credit and the allure of consumer culture, spending much more than she should have on travel, shopping, and partying. More than 80 percent of college students have at least one credit card, and the average number of cards per student is 4.6. Upon graduation the average college student carries $4,100 in credit card debt (Sallie Mae 2009).

     Many vertebrates, such as newts, can renew damaged parts of their bodies, but mammals like us cannot. The only example of a mammal being able to regrow a large, complex organ is antler growth. Deer antlers are large structures made of living bone, cartilage, blood vessels, and fibrous tissue, covered in skin. Each year antlers grow in the summer (they are said to be “in velvet”), die in the fall (the hard bone is used for fighting), are shed in the winter, and then regenerate in the spring. Unlike the regenerative processes of newts, antler growth does not involve reversal of the differentiated state, but rather local activation of stem cells. Researchers are seeking to understand this process, hoping it may someday be possible to activate organ renewal of damaged human tissues.

For a few people, it is a simple process, with words flowing easily from a pen or across a computer screen. But for most, especially for beginning writers, it is a long, laborious, and nerve-racking process. So why should we learn to write? Why should we learn a process that so fills us with self-doubt that it often leads to panic attacks and a blank page? The answer is simple: We should learn to write to communicate.

Educators, politicians, and others simply take for granted that the democratization of higher education is a positive development. Even the President has claimed that by 2020, America should have the highest proportion of college graduates in the world. Views like this are common. They are well intended. They are also wrong. In fact, policymakers and even educators themselves should be questioning the value of higher education, not taking it for granted. Certainly, high-achieving students who have the ability and the desire to get a college degree should have the opportunity to do so. But at the local, state, and federal levels, education policy should increasingly encourage practical alternatives to expensive four-year degrees.

     Spirituality is sometimes considered a controversial part of wellness models, because it touches on issues or beliefs that some people prefer to keep private and that other people feel compelled to share—or at times to press upon others. Even if talking about spirituality or specific religious issues can occasionally make people uncomfortable, spirituality is not a topic to be avoided or a less important part of personal wellness.

To date, ASI is the world’s oldest organization developed to further human rights causes. Modern historians and scholars Jerry Bentley, Herbert Ziegler, and Heather Streets Salter explain the following in their book *Traditions & Encounters: A Brief Global History*: “Officially, slavery no longer exists; however, millions of people live in various forms of involuntary servitude even today. According to the Anti-Slavery International organization, debt bondage, contract labor, sham adoptions, servile marriages, human trafficking, and other forms of servitude still oppress many millions of people around the world. Most of them are in Africa, South Asia, and Latin America—although nearly all regions of the world are impacted in one way or another” (425). Thankfully, organizations such as ASI have been working diligently to combat these modern forms of slavery and human rights abuses. For example, from 2002 to 2007, ASI has helped countries such as Nepal, Niger, Brazil, and Mauritania to develop or revise their laws, making various forms of involuntary servitude more likely to be a punishable crime by the countries’ respective governments. These efforts have largely been a success: An estimated 100,000 individuals have been freed from slavery (or other conditions akin to slavery) since these changes have been enacted.

First, the initial awarding of merit-based scholarships should reward only those students who actually demonstrate merit in school. Although the current eligibility requirements for merit-based scholarships are good indicators of hard-working students, I think that the process can be improved. Rather than only considering G.P.A., test scores, and class ranking, the state should keep track of the academic quality of every high school institution and pass that information on with the students’ transcript. Every state has some form of system already in place to evaluate the quality of their schools and gives them rankings such as “excellent,” “passing,” or “underachieving,” and this information should be passed on with the student’s transcripts to provide universities, especially those that are out-of-state, with the knowledge of the academic rigor of the high school of the applicant. These rankings can then be taken into account when considering a student for a scholarship in order to make valid comparisons of student achievement across different schools.

For example, a living cell must maintain a certain temperature—not too high and not too low. The cell must also take in nutrients, excrete wastes, and regulate its many chemical reactions to prevent a shortage or surplus of essential substances. **Homeostasis** is the process by which a cell or organism maintains this state of internal constancy, or equilibrium.

     An interest group—also called a “faction,” “pressure group,” “special interest,” or “organized interest”—can be defined as any organization that actively seeks to influence public policy. Interest groups are similar to political parties in some respects but differ from them in important ways. Like parties, groups are a linkage mechanism: they serve to connect citizens with government. However, political parties address a broad range of issues so as to appeal to diverse blocs of voters. Above all, parties are in the business of trying to win elections. Groups, on the other hand, concentrate on policies directly affecting their interests. A group may involve itself in elections, but its major purpose is to influence the policies that affect it.

Recognizing negativity is the first step to changing it. Two strategies are most often used to change negative thoughts to positive ones:  

* *Thought stopping*. This strategy simply replaces the negative thought with a positive one—in other words, it stops the negative thinking. The positive thought doesn’t have to be the exact opposite of the negative one. For example, if the negative thought is, “I’m afraid I’ll flunk that test,” you don’t need a positive thought that says, “I’m confident I’ll ace that test.” But you can say, “I’m glad this class is challenging me and that I still have time to study for that test.” It’s good to have a few thought-stopping statements ready so you can stop a negative thought quickly and not use the same one over and over. 

* *Reframing*. This approach reframes, or re-labels, how you interpret a situation. This is similar to thought stopping, because the key is to first be aware of negative judgments you have of yourself. Watch for the words “never” or “always.” For example, “I am never going to understand this material. I’m not good at this subject.” Reframing that statement, you could say, “I’m struggling with this material, but I’m learning too. This may not be my best subject, but I know I can improve.” With the reframed mind-set, you can improve your emotional functioning and improve performance.

     Politics is not confined to the halls of government. Many of society's costs and benefits are allocated through the private sector, although economic systems differ in the degree of government intervention. Under *communism*, which characterized the former Soviet Union and is practiced most fully today in North Korea, the government owns most or all major industries and also takes responsibility for overall management of the economy, including production quotas, supply points, and pricing. Under *socialism, *as it is practiced today in Sweden and other countries, government does not attempt to manage the overall economy, but owns a number of major industries and guarantees every individual a minimal standard of living. In contrast, a **free-market system** operates mainly on private transactions. Firms are largely free to make their own production, distribution, and pricing decisions, and individuals depend largely on themselves for economic security.

     Clothing and **physical appearance** *(the way a person looks)* make a difference in public speaking situations within and outside the classroom. Following are some suggestions for choosing appropriate attire for the classroom setting:

1. Wear clothing that is typical for your audience, unless you wish to wear clothing that makes some point about your presentation. An international student speaking about native dress could wear clothing unique to his country, for example.

2. Avoid wearing clothing or jewelry that is likely to distract your audience from your message: pants that are cut too low, shirts that are too short, or too many rings in too many places.

3. Wear clothing and accessories that contribute to your credibility, not ones that lower your standing in the eyes of the audience: avoid provocative or revealing clothing.

Interest groups are similar to political parties in some respects but differ from them in important ways. Like parties, groups are a linkage mechanism: they serve to connect citizens with government. However, political parties address a broad range of issues so as to appeal to diverse blocs of voters. Above all, parties are in the business of trying to win elections. Groups, on the other hand, concentrate on policies directly affecting their interests. A group may involve itself in elections, but its major purpose is to influence the policies that affect it (Patterson, 283).

     Over the last 20 years, about half of the world's tropical rain forests have been either burned to make pasture land or cut for timber. Over 6 million square kilometers have been destroyed. Every year the rate of loss increases as the human population in the tropics grows. At this pace, all the rain forests of the world will be gone in your lifetime. In the process, it is estimated that one-fifth or more of the world's species of animals and plants will become extinct—more than a million species. This would be an extinction event unparalleled since the Age of Dinosaurs, and it is not a problem limited to the tropics. The ancient forests of the Pacific Northwest are being cut at a ferocious rate today. At the current rate, very little will remain in a decade. Nor is the problem restricted to one area. Throughout the United States, natural forests are being “clear-cut,” replaced by pure stands of lumber trees planted in rows like so many lines of corn. 
     But what is so bad about losing species? What is the value of biodiversity? <span style="color:#000000;background:#FEE335">Some people argue that the disappearance, or extinction, of plant and animal life is cyclical—a phenomenon that is naturally occurring and critical to the cycle of life. They do not agree that this is a problem specific to our era and time.</span> <span style="color:#000000;background:#258FE2">However, scientists generally agree that the rate of extinction is thought to be much greater than just about any time in prior history. It is essential for humans to see the value in protecting species that we use to obtain food, medicine, clothing, energy, and shelter. Likewise, other species are vitally important to maintaining healthy ecosystems. By destroying biodiversity, we are creating conditions of instability and lessened productivity. Other species add beauty to the living world, no less crucial because it is hard to set a price upon (460).

     Determining whether one has the common cold or the flu can be a difficult task. Gary Liguori and Sandra Carroll-Cobb, scholars in health and human performance, clarify some key differences between the two illnesses: “Colds and influenza (“the flu”) are both caused by viruses and have some of the same symptoms, but there are differences. Influenza is the more serious disease, although colds are more common and probably responsible for more lost days at school and on the job than any other infectious disease. For all the misery a cold can cause, in the vast majority of cases it will resolve without treatment—and nothing you do will shorten its duration” (427). So, while both illnesses can produce unpleasant symptoms, the cold is the less severe of the two.

      Artists, anthropologists, archaeologists, historians, and others have become increasingly interested in the artwork of our earliest ancestors. Throughout the world, people have discovered primitive yet intriguing and appealing cave paintings, sculptures, and artifacts used during rituals (such as funerals). The afterlife was particularly important to ancient people, and they often celebrated the deceased by decorating the tombs of notable individuals. Mark Getlein, an artist and scholar, provides insight into one of the greatest relics of art known to mankind, which can be found in the tombs of ancient Egypt. Getlein hypothesizes that, “Among the earliest images of daily life to have come down to us are those that survived in the tombs of ancient Egypt. Egyptians imagined the afterlife as resembling earthly life in every detail, except that it continued through eternity. To ensure the prosperity of the deceased in the afterlife, scenes of the pleasures and bounty of life in Egypt were painted or carved on the tomb walls. Sometimes models were substituted for paintings” (62). 
     Getlein goes on to describe the intricate and strikingly beautiful nature of some of the models, or sculptures, that were found within the cave: “Many models were found in the tomb of an Egyptian official named Meketre, who died around 1990 b.c.e. Meketre himself is depicted at the center, seated on a chair in the shade of a pavilion. Seated on the floor to his left is his son; to his right are several scribes (professional writers) with their writing materials ready. Overseers of Meketre's estate stand by as herders drive his cattle before the reviewing stand so that the scribes can count them. The herders' gestures are animated as they coax the cattle along with their sticks, and the cattle themselves are beautifully observed in their diverse markings” (62).

     Painted on a monastery wall in Milan, Leonardo da Vinci's *The Last Supper* depicts the final gathering of Jesus Christ with his disciples, the Passover meal they shared before Jesus was brought to trial and crucified. Leonardo captures a particular moment in the story, as related in the Gospel book of Matthew in the Bible. Jesus, shown at the center of the composition, has just said to his followers: "One of you shall betray me." The disciples, Matthew tells us, "were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I?"

     In Leonardo's portrayal, each of the disciples reacts differently to the terrible prediction. Some are shocked, some dismayed, some puzzled--but only one, only Judas, knows that, indeed, it is he. Falling back from Jesus' words, the traitor Judas, seated fourth from the left with his elbow on the table, clutches a bag containing thirty pieces of silver, his price for handing over his leader to the authorities. 

     To show this fateful moment, Leonardo places the group in a large banquet hall, its architectural space constructed in careful perspective. Cloth hangings on the side walls and panels in the ceiling are drawn so as to recede into space. Their lines converge at a vanishing point behind Jesus' head, at the exact center of the picture. Thus, our attention is directed forcefully toward the most important part of the composition, the face of Jesus. The central opening in the back wall, a rectangular window, also helps to focus our attention on Jesus and creates a "halo" effect around his head.

First, they can aid in disease/illness prevention. There is considerable evidence that the risk of hypokinetic diseases or conditions can be greatly reduced among people who do regular physical activity and achieve good physical fitness. (Hypokinetic illnesses and conditions are ones that are associated with lack of physical activity or too little regular exercise.) Virtually all chronic diseases that plague society are considered to be hypokinetic, though some relate more to inactivity than others. Nearly three-quarters of all deaths among those 18 and older are the result of chronic diseases. Leading public health officials have suggested that physical activity may offer the most promising public health solution to control chronic diseases, much as immunization controls infectious diseases.

     Second, physical activity and fitness can be significant contributors to disease/illness treatment. Even with the best disease prevention practices, some people will become ill. Regular exercises and good fitness have been shown to be effective in alleviating symptoms and aiding rehabilitation after illness for such hypokinetic conditions as diabetes, heart disease, and back pain.

     Finally, physical activity and fitness contribute to quality of life and wellness, the positive component of good health. In the process, they aid in meeting many other national health goals.

The **balance of trade** is the total value of a nation's exports compared to its imports measured over a particular period. A favorable balance of trade, or **trade surplus,** occurs when the value of a country's exports exceeds that of its imports. An unfavorable balance of trade, or **trade deficit,** occurs when the value of a country's exports is less than its imports. It's easy to understand why countries prefer to export more than they import. If I sell you $200 worth of goods and buy only $100 worth, I have an extra $100 available to buy other things. However, I'm in an unfavorable position if I buy $200 worth of goods from you and sell you only $100.

     The **balance of payments** is the difference between money coming into a country (from exports) and money leaving the country (for imports) plus money flows coming into or leaving a country from other factors such as tourism, foreign aid, military expenditures, and foreign investment. The goal is to have more money flowing into the country than out—a favorable balance of payments. Conversely, an unfavorable balance of payments exists when more money is flowing out of a country than coming in.

     In the past, the United States exported more goods and services than it imported. However, since 1975 it has bought more goods from other nations than it has sold and thus has a trade deficit. Over the past few years, the United States ran its highest trade deficits with China. Still the United States remains one of the world's largest exporting nations even though the U.S. exports a much lower percentage of its products than other countries, such as China, Japan and Germany. Improving that percentage by expanding exports is a goal the U.S. hopes to achieve by 2015.

Because Macy’s appeals to a larger social-economic group than the affluent Lord and Taylor, the advertisement does not focus on prosperity, but rather on affordability and accessibility. The main slogan, “These Treasures of Another Day Make Wedding Gifts of Lasting Charm" (Macy’s 1929), is more conceptually creative than the straightforward Lord and Taylor advertisement, appealing to human relationships through the exclusiveness of a wedding and its gifts. Furthermore, similar to the Lord and Taylor advertisement, both companies added the price of the product advertised, showing consumers there are no surprises with Macy’s and that they wish to help elevate their image, or help them find a unique gift for their friend.

However, a careful reading of the play suggests that Willy’s oldest son plays an equally important role in the drama. Biff’s story illustrates a major theme, as he struggles to confront and express realities about both himself and his family. As he tells his father in Act 2, "We never told the truth for ten minutes in this house." By the play’s ending, he can can say, “I know who I am.” After being totally clueless, the dude has accepted the truth, even if the truth is unflattering. This is his achievement. As a result, the play is Biff’s story as much as it is his father’s story.

As a result, players have never gotten used to any specific coaching philosophy. Second, those frustrated players have frequently gone public with their complaints about the team’s management—and each other. This has led to low morale at all levels of the organization.

Like many college students, Reema was sucked into the trap of easy credit and the allure of consumer culture, spending much more than she should have on travel, shopping, and partying. More than 80 percent of college students have at least one credit card, and the average number of cards per student is 4.6. Upon graduation the average college student carries $4,100 in credit card debt (Sallie Mae 2009).

As a result, he is one of the raunchiest poets in the English language. In sonnet 135, for example, the speaker puns on the risqué associations of the word “will,” which had a sexual connotation at that time. The poet plays a similar game with the terms “flesh” and “pride” in sonnet 151, charging the words with erotic meaning. Similarly, in sonnet 138, the speaker says of his beloved: “Therefore I lie with her and she with me, / And in our faults by lies we flatter'd be” (13-14). Here, the word “lies” refers to both dishonest speech and intimate relations. Scholars of Shakespeare have noted this aspect of his work for centuries. As the great 18th-century critic Samuel Johnson claims in his influential study of the poet and playwright, a dirty pun gave Shakespeare “such delight, that he was content to purchase it, by the sacrifice of reason, propriety and truth” (Johnson 2731). ￸￴MCQProbeSourceData￸￵ᄂ旵￴–The writer argues that Shakespeare is one of the "raunchiest" writers in the English language; to support this claim, the writer uses _____ evidence. ￸￸textual zCorrect.

Expert business writers not only produce more-effective written communications, but they also do so more quickly than average writers. Their secret is to devote a much higher percentage of their time to the planning and reviewing stages. In particular, they spend far more time planning than average or poor writers. They take the time to understand the business issues well, piece together great ideas, make sure the ideas meet the needs of their audiences, and structure their messages for greatest clarity and impact. Once they start drafting, the content is essentially in place.

\blue{**Data 1:**} While domestic violence against women is committed by men all over the world, honor killings are committed mostly by men from Middle East cultures that are strongly patriarchal and consider women as the property of men. The governments and press of these cultures often look the other way or condone such acts of violence against women for the sake of family honor.

\blue{**Data 2:**} "Families that kill for honor will threaten girls and women if they refuse to cover their hair or face, or their body, or act as a family's domestic servant; wear makeup or Western clothing; choose friends from another religion; refuse an arranged marriage; seek a divorce from a violent husband; marry against their parents' wishes; or behave in ways that are considered too independent, which might mean anything from driving a car to spendng time or living away from home or family."

\blue{**Data 3:**} In December of 2007, the *Yemen Times* published an article insisting that violence against women is necessary for the stability of the family and the society.

\blue{**Data 4:**} The United Nations Population Fund estimates that 5,000 women are killed each year for dishonoring their families, though many think this is an underestimate.

\blue{**Conclusion (or claim):**} Honor killings are a shocking epidemic of murders of daughters, sisters, and other young women by family members who feel they have been embarrassed or dishonored by female relatives.

\blue{**Major premise: **}Women often fear that they will get “too big” or bulky as a result of strength training.
\blue{**Minor premise: **}However, the primary reason this is an uncommon scenario has to do with hormones. Testosterone, a hormone that helps to increase muscle-fiber size, is present to a much lesser degree in women than men. In fact, women have as much as 7–8 times less testosterone than men—a distinct disadvantage in terms of building large muscles.
\blue{**Conclusion (claim):**} It is very unlikely that women will develop male-size muscles from strength training.

The logical appeal in the passage uses ________ (inductive/deductive) reasoning. ￸
￸￸	inductiveŁIncorrect. The logical appeal in the passage uses deductive reasoning to assert a general statement, provide specific evidence, and draw a conclusion from the statement and evidence. While inductive reasoning uses evidence to reach a conclusion, it lacks deductive reasoning's first step of asserting a general statement.￸	deductiveƯCorrect. In deductive reasoning, a general statement is followed by specific evidence and then a conclusion is drawn from the statement and evidence. The scenario asserts a general statement about women's fear of bulking up as a result of weight training, presents specific evidence about testosterone and female physiology, and then draws the conclusion that women are unlikely to develop male-size muscles from strength training.㿰￸

The example passage demonstrates the type of reasoning because the author uses logic and reasoning to move from major and minor premises to a conclusion, or claim.㿰￸Oa series of data to debunk the myth about women, strength training, and musclesĦIncorrect. The example passage demonstrates the type of reasoning because the author uses logic and reasoning to move from major and minor premises to a conclusion, or claim. Inductive reasoning, on the other hand, relies on a series of data to move toward a logical and reasonable conclusion. ￸,logic and reasoning to make a logical appealĩIncorrect. The example passage demonstrates the type of reasoning because the author uses logic and reasoning to move from major and minor premises to a conclusion, or claim. The notion of using logic and reasoning to make a logical appeal is true of both the inductive and deductive strategies.  ￸)powerful language to prove the claim trueŠIncorrect. The example passage demonstrates the type of reasoning because the author uses logic and reasoning to move from major and minor premises to a conclusion, or claim. The use of powerful language is more suited to emotional appeals than logical appeals and does not specifically impact whether a passage uses inductive or deductive reasoning.  ￸

For decades now farmers in Greensburg have attempted to exterminate the brass beetle, an invasive species known for its ravenous appetite. Farmers complain a key ingredient in common fertilizers attracts the beetle. Most alarmingly, the beetles have shown an ability to adapt to pesticides, and some farmers fear a “super” beetle might emerge, one completely immune to human attempts to control the insect population. 

￸￸]It is important for all people, not just farmers, to take the brass beetle problem seriously.ŒCorrect. This sentence connects the example about beetles’ attraction to fertilizer with the example about a possible “super” beetle, and then concludes all people must take the beetle problem seriously.

The Battle of Gettysburg was fought during the U.S. Civil War in July 1863. Over 50,000 casualties resulted from this battle, the largest number in the war. In November 1863, President Abraham Lincoln delivered a speech known as the Gettysburg Address at the dedication of the battlefied as a national cemetery to honor the brave soldiers who fought there. Though Lincoln spoke for only two minutes, the speech's effects were immediate and continue to this day. His meaningful, poignant, and powerful speech still touches people's hearts. Here is a portion of the famous speech. Ellipses (...) indicate where words have been omitted.

 Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. ... The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. ... It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us ... that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

This practice was based on the belief that dead ancestors had the power to support and protect their surviving families. However, the dead ancestors would do this only if their descendants displayed proper respect and ministered to the spirits' needs. The strong sense of ancestors' presence and continuing influence led to an equally strong ethic of family solidarity. A family could expect to prosper only if all its members—dead as well as living—worked cooperatively toward common interests. The family became an institution linking departed generations to the living and even to those yet unborn. Consequently, family became an institution that had enormous influence over both the private and the public lives of its members.

Pressures at work and school, family responsibilities, and social obligations often lead to long hours of wakefulness and irregular sleep/wake schedules. Not having enough hours to do all that we want or need to do in a day, we cheat on our sleep. As a result we may suffer from a “sleep debt,” an accumulated level of exhaustion.

     Because consumer goods were so often marketed (and advertised) nationally, the 1950s were notable for the rapid spread of great national consumer crazes. For example, children, adolescents, and even some adults became entranced in the late 1950s with the hula hoop—a large plastic ring kept spinning around the waist. The popularity of the Walt Disney–produced children's television show The Mickey Mouse Club created a national demand for Mickey Mouse watches and hats. It also contributed to the stunning success of Disneyland, an amusement park near Los Angeles that re-created many of the characters and events of Disney entertainment programs.

     The son of a painter who taught drawing, Pablo Picasso showed talent as a child and was surrounded by people who knew how to nurture it. Like a Renaissance apprentice, he grew up so immersed in art that he mastered traditional techniques while still a teenager. In 1896, at the age of fifteen, he was accepted into art school. His mother remarried and was very happy in her new marriage. After graduation, Picasso moved from Barcelona to Paris, then the center of new directions in art. There he experimented with style after style. The one that launched him on his mature path would become known as Cubism, and it began to take form in paintings such as *Seated Woman Holding a Fan*.

Political scientist Michael Krukones discovered that about 75 percent of the promises made by presidents from Woodrow Wilson through Jimmy Carter were kept. The same holds for more recent presidents. George W. Bush pledged to cut taxes—and he did; and although he could not have foreseen the 9/11 attacks, he argued for the kind of muscular foreign policy that he ended up pursuing. There were promises he did not keep as well, such as his promise not to involve America in “nation building” of the sort we ultimately undertook in Iraq. Nevertheless, the promises made during the campaign were a pretty good barometer of the type of president he became.

Harvard even has an admissions officer whose job is to review applications from homeschooled kids. Parents who homeschool have different reasons, but according to a cover story in *Newsweek,* “Some . . . are looking for a way to reclaim family closeness in an increasingly fast-paced society . . . Still others worry about unsavory influences in school—drugs, alcohol, sex, violence” (Kantrowitz and Wingert 66). Homeschooling is no guarantee that a child will resist those temptations, but some families do believe it is a great way to promote family closeness. One fifteen-year-old, homeschooled since kindergarten, explained why he liked the way he’d been raised and educated. He ended by saying, “Another way I’m different is that I love my family. One guy asked me if I’d been brainwashed. I think it’s spooky that liking my family is considered crazy” (Pipher 103).

SUBJECT: Campus Life Focus Group Research

The results of our most recent focus-group research indicate that we cannot rely on Internet and social media strategies to reach college students. While online marketing and promotion are moderately effective, they are subject to diminishing returns as students become more savvy about—and skeptical of—online advertising. From student responses, the way forward is clear: We need more people out in the field. The focus group respondents identified four areas for further development: 

* Creating an on-campus presence through sales representatives

     Maslow's hierarchy of needs is based on the Idea that motivation comes from need. If a need is met, it's no longer a motivator. The list shows the various levels of need. 

* Physiological needs
* Safety needs
* Social needs
* Esteem needs
* Self-actualization needs

     For example, if you just ate a full-course dinner, hunger would not be a motivator, and your attention may turn to your surroundings or family.

In 14 years, he never missed a single game, playing in 2,130 of them consecutively. In 1939, he was diagnosed with ALS (now called Lou Gehrig's Disease), a rare and fatal condition that causes the muscles to deteriorate and ultimately leads to paralysis. He died two years later. His comments below are the ones he spoke to 60,000 Yankee fans after he received his diagnosis.

     "Fans, for the past two weeks you have been reading about a bad break I got. Yet today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth. I have been in ballparks for seventeen years and have never received anything but kindness and encouragement from you fans.
     "Look at these grand men. Which of you wouldn't consider it the highlight of his career to associate with them even for one day?
     "Sure, I'm lucky. When the New York Giants, a team you would give your right arm to beat, and vice versa, sends you a gift, that's something! When everybody down to the groundskeepers and those boys in white coats remember you with trophies, that's something.
     "When you have a wonderful mother-in-law who takes sides with you in squabbles against her own daughter, that's something. When you have a father and mother who work all their lives so that you can have an education and build your body, it's a blessing! When you have a wife who has been a tower of strength and shown more courage than you dreamed existed, that's the finest I know.
     "So I close in saying that I might have had a tough break—but I have an awful lot to live for!"

     There are three major ways in which regular physical activity and good fitness can contribute to optimal health and wellness. First, they can aid in disease/illness prevention. There is considerable evidence that the risk of hypokinetic diseases or conditions can be greatly reduced among people who do regular physical activity and achieve good physical fitness. (Hypokinetic illnesses and conditions are ones that are associated with lack of physical activity or too little regular exercise.) Virtually all chronic diseases that plague society are considered to be hypokinetic, though some relate more to inactivity than others. Nearly three-quarters of all deaths among those 18 and older are the result of chronic diseases. Leading public health officials have suggested that physical activity may offer the most promising public health solution to control chronic diseases, as much as immunization controls infectious diseases. Second, physical activity and fitness can be significant contributors to disease/illness treatment. Even with the best disease prevention practices, some people will become ill. Regular exercise and good fitness have been shown to be effective in alleviating symptoms and aiding rehabilitation after illness for such hypokinetic conditions as diabetes, heart disease, and back pain. Finally, physical activity and fitness contribute to quality of life and wellness, the positive components of good health. In the process, they aid in meeting many other national health goals.

<span style="font-size: 10px">
From *Charles Corbin, Concepts of Fitness and Wellness*</span>

Answer choices:

a. According to Charles Corbin, exercise and physical fitness have three major benefits for both individuals and society. First, regular exercise can reduce the risks of chronic diseases, many of which are caused (in part) by inactivity. Second, exercise can help as a treatment for problems like heart disease, diabetes, and chronic pain. Third, the more people exercise, the more fit Americans will become. This will improve our overall quality of life and help the country reach its national health goals (Corbin 67).

b. I don’t like to exercise, but I can see how physical fitness can help people prevent diseases like diabetes and heart failure. I also understand that exercising regularly can help people alleviate the symptoms of health problems, such as when a person with a bad back stretches and does weight training. We are definitely overweight as a country, and we could all use more exercise. 

c. There are three major ways in which regular physical activity and good fitness can contribute to optimal health and wellness. First, they can aid in disease/illness prevention. There is considerable evidence that the risk of hypokinetic diseases or conditions can be greatly reduced among people who do regular physical activity and achieve good physical fitness. Second, physical activity and fitness can be significant contributors to disease/illness treatment. Finally, physical activity and fitness contribute to quality of life and wellness, the positive component of good health. 

d. Physical fitness and good health: (1) helps prevent illness, (2) helps treat illness, (3) contributes to quality of life and national goals.

     Some companies continue to emphasize conformity to work rules rather than creativity, flexibility, and responsiveness. For example, United Parcel Service (UPS) tells drivers how to get out of their trucks (with right foot first), how fast to walk (three feet per second), how many packages to pick up and deliver a day (an average of 400), and how to hold their keys (teeth up, third finger). Drivers wear ring scanners, electronic devices on their index fingers wired to a small computer on their wrists. The devices shoot a pattern of photons at a bar code on a package. This enables customer to check the Internet and know exactly where a package is at any given moment. If a driver is considered slow, a supervisor rides along, prodding the driver with stopwatches and clipboards. UPS has a training center in Landover, Maryland. It uses simulators that teach employees how to properly lift and load boxes, drive their trucks proficiently, and even lessen the risk of slipping and falling when carrying a package.

         My trip to San Deigo proved to be a lot fun. I wasn’t sure that we would be able to check off all the items on our to-do list. We certainly accomplished a lot during our two week vacation. My wife likes to shop, so one of our first stops had to be a shopping area. We left with a few bags of things we bought at the shops. All three children are interested in art (probably because my wife is an art teacher), so they wanted to visit the art musuem. A trip to San Deigo would not be complete without a visit to Balboa Park. We could not visit all the musuems in the park, but we spent the afternoon in one of them. We had a lot of fun that afternoon. We also enjoyed many of the restaurants in San Diego, especially the ones in Gaslight Village. We ate a lot of good food of all types. At Ole, the burritos were large and full of spicy black beans and tender pieces of steak. My favorite dish at the Chinese restaurant was the deep fried pepper shrimp. The shrimp was hot, crunchy yet tender, and very large. The sauces served with the shrimp, Asian barbecue, hot mustard, and teriyaki, were filled with flavors enhancing, not overpowering, the toothsome shrimp. At the Italian restaurant, said to be the oldest in the city, the food was served family style. I could not get my fill of the three cheese lasagna, but the creamy chicken Alfredo, and the spicy sausage and pepperoni pizza tempted me from the moment they were placed on the table until my son finished the last bite just before we started in on dessert. The beach was also interesting and we spent time on beaches. We did many things while we were on the beaches, everything we did during those two weeks will be remembered forever.
￸￸This was boring.mIncorrect. This is negative feedback and is inappropriate. It is also not helpful because it is too general. ￸gI really enjoyed your many food details because I could practically smell the food you were describing.ëCorrect. This is appropriate and helpful. This is a positive and specific comment about details. The feedback would encourage the writer and help the writer understand the advantage of including such details throughout the entire text.㿰￸PAs a reader, I need more information so I can understand what you mean by *fun*.€Correct. This comment is helpful, specific, and relevant to what a peer reviewer's role is--to help the writer improve the text.㿰￸0What do you mean by *fun* in the topic sentence?zCorrect.

The immune system is unusual. The immune system's main job is to prevent illness. Its cells quietly patrol your body's tissues, attacking virus-infected cells, and anything that does not belong to your body. What's more, the immune system "remembers" the invaders that it encountered in the past.

Most of the time we only become aware of the immune system when something goes wrong. Its cells and chemicals may overreact and attack the body's own tissues; they may launch an allergic reaction; or they may not function at all.

This fact came to the fore in the aftermath of World War II, for example, when it became apparent that Nazi doctors had used concentration camp prisoners as unwilling participants in experiments. These atrocities spurred scientists to develop a code of appropriate behavior—a set of principles about the treatment that participants in research have a right to expect. In general, ethical principles of research focus on balancing the rights of the participants with the rights of scientists to ask important research questions.

     The most grievous of crimes, homicide takes away a person's most prized possession—life. As the only form of victimization from which the victim cannot recover, it therefore incurs the severest penalities. Depending on the kind of homicide committed, an offender might receive anything from probation or a short time in prison to, in many states, a death sentence. The survivor victims (the deceased person's loved ones) are asked to cooperate with a system that they often perceive as being demanding, at times uncaring, and sometimes even abusive. The impact of the crime and criminal justice proceedings on grieving survivor victims is usually traumatic and long lasting. For victim service providers, this is the most challenging form of victimization.

     The journalist Walter Lippman worried that most citizens are unprepared to play the role democracy assigns them. They live in the real world but think in an imagined one. "While men are willing to admit that there are two sides to a question," Lippman noted, "they do not believe that there are two sides to what they regard as fact." In a self-governing society, citizens are expected to act on behalf of themselves and others. But how can they govern themselves if they are out of touch with reality?

<smartart>[SlideTemplate("",[],[],false,"\n**Evaluating Publishers and Sponsors**\n     Looking at a text’s publisher or sponsor can give you insight into a text’s scholarly credibility. Ask:\n\n* Who **published** the text—a university or other academic press, or a known company that specializes in the text’s subject? \n* Who **sponsored the research** discussed in the text—a university or academic organization, a government or government grant program, or a corporation or other business entity? \n\n     The publisher or sponsor can also give you clues about the **motivation** behind the text’s publication. If a text is published by a corporation, it is more likely to reflect well on the corporation and industry. If a text is published by a university press, it is more likely to be vetted by an editorial board and peer scholars in an effort to educate readers. ",false,"",false)]</smartart>

<smartart>[SlideTemplate("",[],[],false,"\n**Evaluating Purpose and Audience**\n     Considering a text’s purpose and intended audience can help you gauge whether or not it has scholarly credibility. For example:\n\n* A website that is trying to persuade readers to purchase a “miracle diet solution” likely does not include research that would cast doubt on the solution’s effectiveness. \n* A magazine article whose primary intended audience is middle school students likely does not have the level of detail that a scholarly article would contain. \n\n**Evaluating References**\n     All scholarly articles and books contain **references,** which are <span style=\"color:#000000;background:#7FFEE335\">citations to other authorities and sources on the text’s subject. </span>If a text does not have references, its information may have been plagiarized (intentionally or accidentally).

<smartart>[SlideTemplate("",[],[],false,"**Evaluating Internet Links**\n     Websites will often have links to other pages or sources on the subject. If the site does not have links, or if the links lead to sites that have questionable scholarly credibility, the website may not have scholarly credibility. \n\n**Evaluating Writing Quality and Accuracy**\n     Another way to determine if a text has scholarly credibility is to look at its writing quality. Careless writing, such as misspellings and missing or incorrect punctuation and words, can be a sign of inadequate research and logic. \n\n     Some publishers use specific processes to ensure that their publications have high-quality information and writing. Academic publishers in particular often use a <span style=\"color:#000000;background:#7FFEE335\">peer-review process</span>, in which other academics and experts review the material prior to publication to ensure accuracy. \n",false,"",false)]</smartart>

----
<smartart>[SlideTemplate("",[],[],true,"\n**Evaluating Timeliness**     \n\n     The scholarly credibility of some sources depends greatly on **how recently they were published:** If the text is in printed form, when was it published? If the text is on a website, when was it last updated?      \n\n     This is especially true for texts about science and technology.

Dickinson, being well-known for her isolation and tragic unique poetry, changed her family indefinitely, influencing her younger sister to join her in extreme isolation, and her older brother to move next door. Soon after her isolationist tendencies began in 1850, Dickinson started to write about her perception of life, including the nature and humanity around her. However, she never exited her bedroom again. Writing often to her family members, her siblings proved to be intellectual companions during her complete isolation as well, and thus Dickinson often lived vicariously through them. Although her poems were written privately, strictly for the release of emotions and commentary of society, Emily Dickinson published her first poem in the *Springfield Daily Republican* in 1852. She kept her identity anonymous, however, signing her poem “A Valentine,” to not only eliminate prejudgment because of her gender, but also to attempt to keep her poetry personal (Mendez, 6-7).</span>\\n\\n<span style=\\\"font-size: 10px\\\">From Chloe Mendez, “To What Extent do the Biographies and Works of Emily Dickinson Contradict New Criticism and Its Idea of Author-Absent Reading?”</span>\",true,\"\",false)]</smartart>",false,"",false)]</smartart>

The narrow streets of Greenwich Village evoke its citizens’ quest of cultural and social connectivity, using their subconscious rebellion to express their social rebellion for creativity and human perspective, while the skyscrapers of Midtown conjure up the rigidness and strict reality needed for the city to exist and thrive.

A sentence contains a subject and a verb and expresses a complete idea. The punctuation mark you use at the end of a sentence depends on your purpose.

Declarative, interrogative, imperative, and exclamatory are the four sentence types; the correct end punctuation depends on the type of sentence you are writing.

**Punctuating a Declarative Sentence**
A declarative sentence makes a point, asserts an opinion, or presents information. It ends with a period (.).
*Winston Churchill was prime minister of Great Britain during World War II.
The Civil War ended in 1865.*

**NOTE:** If an abbreviation comes at the end of a sentence, do not use a second period.

A noun phrase is a group of words led by either a noun or a pronoun. It can serve as the subject of the sentence or the object of the verb or preposition.

**Examples:**
***The boy with the red hair*** *lives on the same street as my grandmother*.
The noun phrase consists of a noun, *boy*, and the prepositional phrase that modifies him *with the red hair*. In this sentence it is used as the subject of the sentence.

*Every Wednesday, I am awakened by* ***the large city garbage truck that picks up our trash*** *as its brakes squeal every time it stops*.
The noun phrase consistes of a noun *truck* along with modifiers, *large, city, garbage* and the phrase *that picks up our trash.* In this sentence it is used as the object of the preposition *by*.

Many verb forms contain more than one word. Sometimes you will have to add a helping word or a particle (a short word following a verb) to make the tense or meaning of your verb clear.

Make sure your sentence compares like things; otherwise, it will be illogical.

**But:** ***The mountains of Switzerland*** *are older than* ***those of Colorado***.

The first sentence is illogical; it compares unlike things--*mountains and Colorado*. The second is logical; it compares like things--*mountains and mountains* (*those* of Colorado).

When you compare people, places, or things, show that they belong to the group to which they are being compared. To do so, include words such as *other* or *else.*
**Not:** *A Ferrari is more expensive* ***than most cars***.
**But:** *A Ferrari is more expensive* ***than most other cars***.

Pronouns refer to and take the place of nouns.
*The students are from Korea*. ***They*** *came here in 1992*.
*Africa is a large continent;* ***it*** *contains many countries*.

There are five types of pronouns: **personal, relative, indefinite, demonstrative, and reflexive**.

**Personal pronouns can act as subjects and direct objects**.

Most nouns in English are generic--they are considered neither female nor male. Included are words such as *teacher, engineer, nurse*, and *judge*. Nongeneric nouns identify the sex of a person; they include *grandmother, father*, and *aunt*.

One way to avoid sexism when referring to generic nouns is by replacing a masculine pronoun with both a masculine and feminine pronoun.
**Sexist:** *A candidate for Senate should reveal* ***his*** *income tax returns*.
**Revised:** *A candidate for Senate should reveal* ***his or her*** *income tax returns*.

A second way to avoid sexism when referring to generic nouns is by replacing the pronoun with an article: *a, an*, or *the*.
**Sexist:** *A truck driver must have* ***his*** *commercial license.*
**Revised:** *A truck driver must have* ***a*** *commercial license*.

A third way to avoid sexism when referring to generic nouns is to replace a singular generic noun with a plural noun and then use a plural pronoun.

￴￷￴	Correct Relative Pronounsslide:139497608<￴￴slide:139497608Correct Relative Pronounsޖ==**Learn to Use Relative Pronouns**==

The relative pronouns are ***that, who, whom, whose, whoever***, and ***whomever***. They refer to nouns that come before them.

*She is a woman* ***who*** *has won many academic honors*.
*The boy,* ***whose*** *bicycle had been stolen, ran home*.
*China is a country* ***that*** *I have read much about*.
----
==**Special Problems with Who, Whom, and Whose**==

Some writers confuse these relative pronouns and use one when they mean to use another. Just remember these five rules:
1. ***Who*** is a subject. ***Who*** are you?
2. ***Whom*** is an object. ***Whom*** do you trust?
3. ***Whose*** is possessive. ***Whose*** socks are these?
4. ***Whoever*** is a subject. ***Whoever*** comes late doesn't eat.
5. ***Whomever*** is an object. Please invite ***whomever*** you want.

**The Difference Between** ***Whose And Who's***

Don't confuse ***whose*** with ***who's***. ***Whose*** is possessive; ***who's*** means *who is*.
**Not:** *I met a man* ***who's*** *hair was blue*.
**But:** *I met a man* ***whose*** *hair was blue*.
----
==**The Difference between Who and Whom**==

As you just learned, ***who*** used as a subject and ***whom*** is used as an object. Special problems can occur when ***who*** and ***whom*** come in the middle of sentence.

*I met the woman* ***who*** *spoke to the class*. (This is correct.)
**But**
*I met the woman* ***whom*** *Professor Jenkins invited to class*. (This is also correct.)

In the first example, ***who*** is the subject of the verb spoke. In the second, ***whom*** is the object of the verb invited.
----
**The Difference between Who, Whom and That**

***That*** is not a personal pronoun. Use ***that*** for places and things. Don't use ***that*** to refer to people or types of people.

**Not:** *I enjoy meeting students* ***that*** *were born in other countries*.
**But:** *I enjoy meeting students* ***who*** *were born in other countries*.￴￷￸

Repeating words or ideas unnecessarily risks boring or confusing the reader. Include only words that have a real purpose. Of course, repetition is natural early in the writing process. You might use more words than needed in rough drafts just to make sure you have covered the topic. When revising and editing, however, remove words that serve no purpose or that say the same thing as others you have used.

**Remove Repeated Words**

Repeating a word in the same or in a nearby sentence can cause wordiness.

In order to show equal importance for two independent clauses, you may use a comma and a coordinating conjunction between them.  The coordinating conjunctions are *and, or, but, yet, so, for, nor.* These conjunctions, however, are not interchangeable. The conjunction you choose will depend on the meaning of the sentence. Conjunctions can join words, phrases, and clauses.

The conjunction ***but*** will usually be followed by an exception to or disagreement with what was said in the first part of the sentence.
 *The Anglo-Saxon period  in England was considered to be lacking culture,* ***but*** *many epics, songs, and works of art have been discovered from that period*.

----
==**Coordination: Coordinating Conjunctions**==

The conjunction ***for*** will usually be followed by an explanation of the first part of the sentence or a reason.
 *During the Renaissance, many artists needed patrons*, ***for*** *they could not survive by selling their work to just anyone*.

The conjunction ***and*** will usually be followed by an extra piece of information or agreement with the first part of the sentence.
 *It was said that Michaelangelo painted most of the Sistine Chapel while on his back* ***and*** *that he would work for months in that position.*
----
==**Coordination: Conjunctions**==

The conjunction ***nor*** will usually be followed by something in the negative or something that is similarly a NOT just as the first part of the sentence is.
 *Most poets during the English Elizabethan period did not write to be published* ***nor*** *were they paid for their work*.

The conjunction ***or*** will usually be followed by an alternative or consequence to the first part of the sentence.
 *Eat foods in moderation and with fewer calories*, ***or*** *you will gain weight.*
----
==**Coordination: Conjunctions**==

The conjunction ***yet*** will usually be followed by an exception or contradiction to the first part of the sentence.
 *He eats anything he wants and as much as he wants*, ***yet*** *he never gains weight*.

The conjunction ***so*** will usually be followed by an agreement, condition, consequence, or summation of the first part of the sentence.
 *He has to go to bed early*, ***so*** *we had better get home and eat now*.

**Dependent (Subordinate--cannot stand alone as a sentence) Clauses**
A dependent clause has a subject and verb but does not express a complete thought. A dependent clause must be joined to an independent clause. Otherwise, the lone clause will be a sentence fragment--an error. Also known as a subordinate clause, a dependent clause expresses an idea less important than (subordinate to) an idea expressed in a main clause. 

Below, the words in bold are dependent clauses. They are attached to independent (main) clauses both within complete sentences:

***After a long and successful career*** (dependent), *the president resigned.* (independent) 
*My mother*, ***who is now 58*** (dependent), *was born in Nigeria.* (independent *My mother was born in Nigeria*)
*Lenin's revolution was successful* (independent) ***because living conditions in early 20th-century Russia were deplorable*** (dependent).

Sometimes writers create sentences in which a pronoun points to two nouns. Such sentences can be unclear.

The reader must guess which woman was promoted, so the sentence should be rewritten.

Parallelism is the consistent and logical use of the same grammatical construction--word, phrase or clause--in a series, with comparisons/contrasts, correlative pairs, and relative pronouns ***who*** and ***that***.

Some pairs of words can help make sentences parallel. These are correlatives: ***either . . . or; neither . . . nor;*** and ***not only . . . but also***.

When you use these pairs, remember to join the same kinds of elements.

**Not Parallel:** *In December, the weather is* ***either cool, or we get a warming trend with rain.***
**Parallel:** *In December, the weather is* ***either cool or warm and rainy.***
**NOTE:** In the first sentence, ***either*** introduces an adjective--*cool*--but ***or*** introduces a clause--*we get a warming trend with rain.* In the second sentence, ***or*** also introduces adjectives--*warm and rainy.*￴￷￸

Mixed constructions occur when a sentence begins with one pattern and then switches illogically to another. Such constructions make your writing choppy, illogical, and hard to follow. To avoid writing mixed constructions:

**Don't use a coordinating conjunction (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so) to connect a main clause with a subordinate (dependent--cannot stand alone) clause or with a phrase.**

**Illogical:** *He was a poor man,* ***but who*** *was ambitious and willing to work hard.*
**Illogical:** *A new method for removing warts is being advertised* ***and by*** *a local doctor.*

Coordinating conjunctions such as *but* and *and* can be used to connect sentence elements that are equal--main clauses with main clauses, for example. In the above two sentences, the coordinating conjunctions are being used to connect a main clause and a subordinate clause or a main clause and a phrase.
----
==**Mixed Constructions**==

To correct the first sentence (*He was a poor* ***man, but who*** *was ambitious and willing to work hard.*) you might do the following:

1. Use two main clauses connected with a coordinating conjunction.
**Revised:** *He was a poor* ***man, but he was*** *ambitious and willing to work hard.*
OR
2. Put the second idea into a subordinate clause.
**Revised:** *He was a poor* ***man who was ambitious and willing to work hard.***

To correct the second sentence you might simply eliminate the coordinating conjunction:

==**Pronouns**==

Pronouns replace nouns. A pronoun stands for a person, place, or thing. There are five types of pronouns: **personal, relative, demonstrative, indefinite,** and **reflexive**. 

**Personal pronouns** can act as subjects or objects. They can also show possession.

**Subjects:** ***I, we, you, he, she, it, one, they*** 
**Objects:** ***me, us, you, him, her, it, one, them*** 
**Possessive:** ***my, mine, our, ours, your, yours, his, her, hers, its, their, theirs***
----

**Relative pronouns** introduce dependent (subordinate) clauses-clauses that cannot stand alone in a sentence.

*Madagascar is a large island* ***that*** *offers a varied topography.* 

*Madagascar lies in the Indian Ocean*, **which** *is the world's third-largest body of water*.

  **Relative pronouns** 
|*that*| *whichever*| *whom*|
|*whatever* |*who* |*whomever*|
|*which* |*whoever* |*whose*|
---- 

**Demonstrative pronouns** point out nouns that follow them.

"***This*** *country has been made better because of your example," said the speaker.*

**Demonstrative pronouns**
|*this* |*that*|
|*these* |*those*|
----
**Indefinite pronouns** point to places and things that are not specific. They act as subjects or objects, or they show possession.

***Everyone*** *in my tour group class wanted to visit the ancient Mayan city.* 

***No one*** *knew much about the Yucatan people who built it.*

  **Indefinite pronouns** 
|*any* |*each* |*few* |*nothing*
|*anybody* |*either* |*many* |*some*
|*anyone* |*everybody* |*nobody* |*somebody*
|*anything *|*everyone* |*none* |*someone*
|*both* |*everything* |*no one* |*something*
----

**Reflexive pronouns** refer to nouns or pronouns that act as subjects. Reflexive pronouns always end in *-self* or *-selves*: *myself, himself, herself, yourself, themselves*. Remember, in order to use a reflexive pronoun, the noun or pronoun to which it refers must be mentioned first.

**Not**: *It was done by* ***myself***.
**But**: *She blessed* ***herself*** *as she entered the church.*

Mixed constructions occur when a sentence begins with one pattern and then switches illogically to another. Such constructions make your writing choppy, illogical, and hard to follow. To avoid writing mixed constructions, don't use a subordinate clause as the subject of a sentence.

**Illogical:** ***Just because she is absent*** *does not mean that she thinks the meeting is unimportant.*
**Revised:** ***Her absence does not mean*** *that she thinks the meeting is unimportant.*
**Illogical:** ***When the temperature dropped below freezing*** *destroyed much of the orange crop.*
**Revised:** ***Freezing temperatures destroyed*** *much of the orange crop.*

In both cases, a subordinate clause acts as the subject of the main clause, which makes the sentences illogical. Note these revisions, which eliminate the subordinate clauses and substitute appropriate subjects:

1. **The Colon Between Independent (Main) Clauses**

Sometimes, you can use an independent clause to explain, add to, or clarify the meaning of another. You should separate these clauses with a colon.

A comma splice is an error similar to a fused sentence. A fused sentence joins two independent (main--can stand alone as a sentence) clauses without a conjunction and/or proper punctuation. **A comma splice joins two complete sentences with a comma.** However, a comma is not strong enough to join two independent (main) clauses. You can correct a comma splice by using the same five methods (below) used to correct fused sentences.

**NOT:** *Mecca is Islam's holiest* ***city, Medina*** *is also an important religious center.*

**BUT:** *Mecca is Islam's holiest* ***city. Medina*** *is also an important religious center.* (Create two separate sentences.)

**OR:** *Mecca is Islam's holiest* ***city, but*** *Medina is also an important religious center.* (Add a comma and a coordinating conjunction.)

==**Avoid Comma Splices**==

**OR:** *Mecca is Islam's holiest* ***city; Medina*** *is also an important religious center.* (Add a semicolon between the independent clauses.)

**OR:** *Mecca is Islam's holiest* ***city; however,*** *Medina is also an important religious center.* (Add a semicolon, a transitional word or phrase, and a comma between the independent clauses.)

Verbs take various tenses. They also come in **active voice** or **passive voice**. **A verb in the active voice takes a subject--person, place, or thing--that does an action. A verb in the passive voice takes a subject that is acted upon**.

**Active:** *The students admire the teacher*.
**Passive:** *The teacher is admired by the students*.
**NOTE:** Verbs in the passive voice always contain at least two words: *a form of the verb to be (is) and the participle (admired)*.

**CAUTION:** Shifting from one voice to another in the same sentence often makes the sentence hard to read. Shifting the voice also makes your message less direct and emphatic.
**Inconsistent:** *Beautiful birds were seen as she entered the garden*.
**Consistent:** *She saw beautiful birds as she entered the garden*.
The first example begins in the passive voice and then shifts to the active. In the second example, both verbs are in the active voice.￴￷￸

**But:** *The dog lost* ***its*** *leash*.

Don't confuse ***their*** with ***they're*** or ***there***. ***They're*** means they are; ***there*** refers to a place.

Joining nouns and pronouns with ***and*** creates compound subjects, which are plural. But this situation isn't true when you use ***or*** and ***nor*** between subjects. ***Or*** and ***nor*** tell us to **consider subjects separately, not together**. The joining word helps us determine whether a verb should be singular or plural.

***Sam and Paul ride*** *motorcycles*.

**OR**

***Either Sam or Paul rides*** *a Harley-Davidson*.
***Neither Sam nor Paul rides*** *on Sundays*.
----
==**Maintain Subject/Verb Agreement When Using Either/Or and Neither/Nor**==

***Either/or and neither/nor*** constructions make us **consider the two subjects separately, not as a pair**. Therefore, if both subjects are singular, the verb must be singular:

**Not:** ***Either Thailand or Sri Lanka were*** *her home*.
**But:** ***Either Thailand or Sri Lanka was*** *her home*.

**NOTE:** The subject is ***Thailand or Sri Lanka***, not ***Thailand and Sri Lanka***. Since both subjects are singular, the verb must be singular: ***was***, not ***were***.
----
==**Maintain Subject/Verb Agreement When Using Either/Or and Neither/Nor**==

**Using Either/Or and Neither/Nor When Both Subjects Are Plural**

You learned that if both subjects in an ***either/or*** or ***neither/nor*** sentence are singular, the verb is singular. By the same token, if both subjects are plural, the verb is plural.

**Not:** ***Neither the cats nor the dogs has*** *torn the screen*.
**But:** ***Neither the cats nor the dogs have*** *torn the screen*.
----
==**Maintain Subject/Verb Agreement When Using Either/Or and Neither/Nor**==

**Using Either/Or and Neither/Nor When One Subject is Singular and the Other is Plural**

When **one subject is singular and the other is plural, the subject closer to the verb determines whether the verb is singular or plural**.

***Neither the company nor the workers want*** *a strike*.
**But**
***Neither the workers nor the company wants*** *a strike*.

In the first, *workers* is the subject closer to the verb. Since *workers* is plural, the verb is plural. In the second, *company* is closer to the verb. Since *company* is singular, the verb is singular.
----
==**Maintain Subject/Verb Agreement When Using Either/Or and Neither/Nor**==

**Using Either and Neither as Adjectives**

When ***either*** or ***neither*** comes immediately before a noun, the noun is **singular**. Therefore, the verb that follows is also **singular**.

***Either*** *restaurant* ***serves*** (not *serve*) *the food we like*.
***Neither*** *bookstore* ***stocks*** (not *stock*) *novels by Verga*.￴￷￸

A **fused sentence**, also called a **run-on sentence**, joins two independent (main) clauses without a conjunction and/or proper punctuation. A **fused sentence** combines two complete sentences without indicating where one stops and the other begins.

**Fused:** *Chefs* ***cook waiters*** *serve.*
**Correct:** *Chefs* ***cook; waiters*** *serve.*

**Fused:** *The jury discussed the case* ***carefully they*** *reviewed each piece of evidence.*
**Correct:** *The jury discussed the case* ***carefully. They*** *reviewed each piece of evidence.*

**Note:** Fused sentences are corrected by inserting a semicolon, by inserting a comma and a coordinating conjunction, or by inserting end punctuation and beginning a new sentence. ￴￷￸

Verb Moodsslide:428744787<￴￴slide:428744787
Verb Moodsਵ==**Learn to Use Verb Moods**==

What Is Mood?
Verbs come in various tenses. They also come in four moods: **indicative, imperative, subjunctive, and conditional**. A verb's mood helps show the writer's intention or purpose.

**Use the indicative mood to make a statement or ask a question:**
*How many people in this country have hay fever?*
*Twenty-two million Americans suffer from this allergy.*

The **imperative mood** gets its name from "imperial," an adjective describing empires. It is natural that the imperative be used to give commands. However, the imperative is also used to make requests and give directions. Notice that when giving a command, an exclamation point may be used.
**Command:** *Close the door!*
**Request:**    *Please pass the gravy.*
**Directions:** *Turn right at the traffic light.*
----
==**Learn to Use Verb Moods**==

The **subjunctive mood** is used for three purposes:

To express a wish or desire.
To explain a demand, a request, or a suggestion.
To make a statement that is contrary to fact.

**Wish:** *I wish I owned* (not *own*) *a Corvette*.
**Demand:** *The police demanded that the thief drop* (not *drops*) *the gun*.
**Contrary to fact:** *If Sam were* (not *was*) *patient, he would master the computer easily*.

**NOTE:** In the **subjunctive mood, the past tense is expressed with the helping verb** ***had***.
*If she* ***had gone*** (not *went*), *she would have enjoyed herself*.
*If he* ***had left*** (not *left*) *earlier, he would have avoided traffic*.
----
==**Learn to Use Verb Moods**==

The **conditional mood is used to answer questions such as** ***What would happen if? or What happens when?*** **A conditional sentence usually begins with an "if" or "when" clause, which states the condition**. The first clause is followed by a clause that tells what will happen "if" or "when" that condition comes true.

***If we do well this term,*** *we will keep our scholarships*.
***When a parolee commits a crime,*** *he or she is returned to jail immediately*.
----
==**Learn to Use Verb Moods**==

The conditional and the indicative forms are the same. The problem comes in distinguishing the conditional from the subjunctive.

**Conditional:** ***If he exercises,*** *he will lose weight*.
**Subjunctive:** ***If he were exercising,*** *he would lose weight*.

The conditional says *he will lose weight*, but only *if he exercises*. The subjunctive says that he is not exercising and that he is not losing weight. In many cases, the second clause of a conditional sentence contains *will*; the second clause in a subjunctive sentence contains *would.*￴￷￸

￴￷￴	Mixed Construction: Subjectsslide:431947205<￴￴slide:431947205Mixed Construction: SubjectsΓ==**Avoid Mixed Constructions**==

Mixed constructions occur when a sentence begins with one pattern and then switches illogically to another. Such constructions make your writing choppy, illogical, and hard to follow. To avoid writing mixed constructions, **include a subject in a main (independent) clause.**

Sometimes writers begin a sentence with a phrase or subordinate clause and continue with a main clause that lacks a subject.

**Illogical:** ***When people drink alcohol,*** *should refrain from driving for several hours.*

The sentence begins with the subordinate (dependent) clause *When people drink alcohol*. A main (independent) clause should follow. Instead, an incomplete clause follows *should refrain from driving for several hours*. It is missing the subject *they*. The sentence should read:

**Revised:** ***When people drink alcohol, they*** *should refrain from driving for several hours.*￴￷￸

￴￷￴	Correct Dangling Modifiersslide:436808140<￴￴slide:436808140Correct Dangling Modifiersؼ==**Correct Dangling Modifiers**==

Modifiers must point clearly to the words they describe. Otherwise, sentences may seem illogical. This happens if you forget to mention the word a modifier is supposed to describe. In such cases, the modifier is said to "dangle"; it has nothing to hang on to. Say you wrote the following sentence:

**Dangling:** ***Walking across the field***, ***the river*** *came into view*.

It's very possible your reader would surely know that *you--not the river*--were walking. But that's not what the sentence says, so why take that chance? To correct dangling modifiers, add the word(s) you forgot. Rewrite the sentence adding the missing word (I).

**Revised:** ***Walking across the field, I*** *saw the river.*
(Now, *Walking across the field* clearly points to the pronoun *I*.)
----
==**Correct Dangling Modifiers**==

Working with ***it is*** and ***it was*** Constructions

You might create a dangling modifier if you follow a modifier with a main clause that has a subject *it* and a verb *was* or another form of *to be*.

**Dangling**: *Concerned about the rain*, ***it was*** *decided that the picnic should be canceled*.
(*Concerned about the rain* has nothing to modify except the word *it*, which refers to no word in the sentence. Be sure to add the word (the person who is concerned about the rain) the modifier is describing.

**Revised:** *Concerned about the rain,* ***the president of our club*** *decided to call off the picnic*.
(Now, *Concerned about the rain* clearly refers to *the president of our club*, a subject the reader can identify.)￴￷￸

**Become Familiar With Adjective Types**
Adjectives answer questions such as *What kind? Which one? What color? What size? and How many?* 

**Adjectives can come before nouns or can act as complements**. Complements are words that describe subjects through linking verbs such as ***is, are, was, have been***, or ***will be***.

**Before a noun:** 
*The* ***old*** *city in Quebec attracts* ***many*** *tourists.*

Linking verbs do not show action. Instead, they help describe a subject by connecting it to a noun, pronoun, or adjective. Linking verbs include *am, are, is, was*, and *were*.

**To a noun:** *She* ***was*** *the queen of his heart*.
**To a pronoun:** *It* ***is*** *I!*
**To an adjective:** *Our bellies* ***were*** *full*.

Helping verbs are used with main verbs to form the future, the perfect, and the progressive tenses. They include forms of the verb to be, such as *am, are, be, been, being, is, was*, and *were*. They also include *will* and *shall* and forms of the verbs *to have* and *to do*.

*The engineers* ***were draining*** *the swamp*.
*The scholarship ball* ***has raised*** *thousands of dollars*.
----
==**Use Linking Verbs, Helping Verbs, and Modals**==

**Including Needed Helping Verbs**

Sometimes leaving out needed helping verbs can cause a sentence fragment (a sentence that is not complete), or can create a subject/verb agreement error.

**Fragment:** *She* ***carrying*** *the baby in her arms*.
**Complete:** *She* ***was carrying*** *the baby in her arms*.
**Agreement Error:** *The band* ***practice*** *on Thursday*.
**Correct:** *The band* ***will practice*** *on Thursday*.

==**Use Linking Verbs, Helping Verbs, and Modals**==

Modals are helping verbs. Unlike most helping verbs, however, they cannot act as main verbs. They are used before main verbs to create special meanings.

Subordinate (dependent) clauses, which cannot stand alone, can be introduced
by subordinating conjunctions such as ***after, while, if, because, since, though, when, so that, even though, whenever, where, wherever, although***, and ***unless*** and by relative pronouns such as ***that, which, who, and whom.***  Some prepositions can be used as subordinating conjunctions: ***before, after, until.***Then, in order to construct a complete sentence, a main (independent clause) must accompany the subordinate (dependent) clause.

**subordinating conjunction**                         **subordinate (dependent) clause**
***Although*** *Christopher  Columbus has been given credit for discovering America*,

==**Subordinating Conjunctions**==

Subordinating conjunctions are not interchangeable. The subordinating conjunction used must fit the context (meaning) of the sentence.

A <span style="color:#341ce8 " title="**Comma Splice**
A sentence error in which two main clauses are connected with a comma alone.
**Comma Splice:** The campers hiked through dense woods in the dark, they knew they were lost.
**Revised:** The campers hiked through dense woods in the dark; they knew they were lost. ">comma splice</span> is an error similar to a fused sentence. A fused sentence joins two <span style="color:#341ce8 " title="**Main (Independent) Clauses**
A group of words that contains a subject and a verb and that can stand alone as a complete sentence. Main clauses are highlighted in the sentences below:
After Melissa sang, **everyone applauded.**
**Marion Jones**, who became company president, **is from my hometown.**
**Mozart had composed musical masterpieces**, before he reached his teens. ">independent (main) clauses</span> without a <span style="color:#341ce8 " title="**Conjunction**
A word that joins words or ideas. A **coordinating conjunction** joins words or ideas of the same importance. A **subordinating conjunction** joins ideas by showing that one is less important than the other. **Subordinating conjunctions** introduce subordinate (dependent) clauses and join them to main (independent) clauses.
There are seven coordinating conjunctions: *and, but, or, for, nor, so, yet*
There are several subordinating conjunctions including: *although, as if, because, even though, rather than, since, though, unless, until, while*, and *whenever*">conjunction</span> and/or proper punctuation. A comma splice joins two complete sentences with a **only** comma. However, a comma is not strong enough to join two independent (main) clauses. You can correct a comma splice by using the same five methods used to correct fused sentences.

**NOT:** *She had planned the wedding* ***so carefully, there were*** *so many things that went wrong.* (Comma splice)
**BUT:** *She had planned the wedding so* ***carefully. There were so*** *many things that went wrong*. 
**OR:** *She had planned the wedding so* ***carefully, but*** *there were so many things that went wrong*. (Join with a comma and *but*.)
----
==**Avoid Comma Splices**==

**NOT:** *She had planned her wedding so* ***carefully, there were*** *so many things that went wrong.* (Comma splice) 

**OR:** *She had planned her wedding so* ***carefully; there*** *were so many things that went wrong*. (Join two independent clauses with a semicolon if they are closely related.) 
**OR:** *She had planned her wedding so* ***carefully; however,*** *there were so many things that went wrong*. (Use a semicolon, transition, and comma between two independent clauses.)
**OR:** *Even though she had planned her wedding so* ***carefully, so*** *many things went wrong*. (Change one independent clause to a dependent clause followed by a comma and the independent clause.)￴￷￸

￴￷￴	Active and Passive Voiceslide:469629339<￴￴slide:469629339Active and Passive Voiceੲ==**Active and Passive Voice**==

**Use the active and passive voices.**

Verbs have tenses and moods. They also have voices. **The voice is the form a verb takes to indicate whether the subject of the sentence does an action or is acted upon**.

**Active:** ***Ramon wrote*** *the letter*.
**Passive:** ***The letter was written*** *by Ramon*.

**A sentence in the active voice uses a subject, person, place, or thing that does an action**. 

**A sentence in the passive voice uses a subject that is acted upon**.
----
==**Active and Passive Voice**==

**In general, choose the active over the passive voice.**

There are problems with using the passive voice:

Since the passive requires more words than the active voice requires, the former can make a sentence wordy.
**Active:** ***The small audience applauded*** *the violinist*.
**Passive:** ***The violinist was applauded by*** *the small audience*.

The passive voice sometimes takes emphasis away from the subject and makes a sentence awkward and hard to read.
**Active:** ***The small children ran*** *into the house*.
**Passive:** ***The house was run into by*** *the small children*.
----
==**Active and Passive Voice**==

**Problems with using the passive voice**:

Using the passive voice might cause the writer to forget to include the subject. This omission might be a serious mistake, for knowing the doer of an action is often just as important as knowing what happened.
**Active:** ***Governor Santiago approved*** *funds for a new superhighway*.
**Passive:** The funds for a new superhighway ***were approved***.

Using the passive voice can lead to sentence structure problems.
**Problem:** *Going down in the elevator*, ***the verdict was discussed by the lawyers***.
**Correct:** *Going down in the elevator*, ***the lawyers discussed the verdict***.

**NOTE:** In the first example, the modifier (adjective) going down in the elevator seems to refer to the verdict. That, of course, would make the sentence illogical.
----
==**Active and Passive Voice**==

**When to Use The Passive Voice: Two Exceptions**

Using the passive voice can help you emphasize the action over the doer of an action.
 **Passive:** ***Ann was elected*** *to the Monroe city council.*

The sentence above places more emphasis on **Ann's** election than does the following version:
 **Active:** ***The citizens of Monroe elected*** *Ann to the city council.*

Using the passive voice is also appropriate when you don't know who did an action.
*Doors and windows had been left open; books, clothing, and small items of furniture had been scattered across the room; and curtains, sheets, and blankets had been torn to shreds*.

A **phrase** is a group of words without a <span style="color:#341ce8 " title="**Subject**
The person, place or thing in a sentence that does the action or that the sentence describes. Nouns or pronouns can act as subjects. All sentences have subjects.

*The capital of Japan* 
*During the American Civil War*

A **clause** is a group of words with a subject and a verb. 
A **dependent (subordinate) clause** is a group of words that includes a subject and a verb but that does not express a complete idea.
 ***Which is the capital of Japan*** 
 ***Even though the American Civil War ended***


----
**Complete Idea**

An **independent (main) clause** is a group of words that includes a subject and a verb and that expresses a complete idea.
|**Subject**| **Verb**|  
|*Tokyo*|*is*|*one of the world's largest cities*
|*Lincoln*|*signed*|*the emancipation proclamation*

**All complete sentences** contain at least one independent clause. Only an independent clause can stand alone as a complete sentence. Phrases and dependent clauses cannot stand alone. They must be connected to independent clauses. Otherwise, they will form fragments.
 **NOT:** *The capital of Japan. Tokyo is one of the world's largest cities.* 
 **BUT:** *The capital of Japan, Tokyo is one of the world's largest cities.* 
 **NOT:** *Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. Before the American Civil War ended.*

￴￷￴	Participial Phraseslide:472400267<￴￴slide:472400267Participial Phraseά==**Participial Phrase**==

A participial phrase is a group of words that accompanies a participle. A participle is form of a verb that often acts as a modifier or sometimes even as the subject or object in a sentence. Participles usually end in *-ing, -ed*, or *-en.* 

**Participles:**
*She likes* ***working.*** The verb in this sentence is *likes* and *working* is the participle that serves as the object of the verb.
***Working*** *hard is one thing that will lead to success.* Here, *Working* is the subject of the sentence while *is* is the verb.
**Participial phrase:** 
***Shopping at that home store*** *is my mother's favorite pastime*.
The verb of this sentence is *is* so *shopping* is the participle. The participial phrase is *shopping at that home store* which is the participle plus its modifiers, the prepositional phrase *at that home store*. In this sentence, the participial phrase is the subject of the sentence.

**Parallelism**
The consistent and logical use of the same grammatical construction--word, phrase or clause--in a series, comparison/contrast, correlative pairs (*either/or, neither/nor*), and use of relative pronouns (*that* and *who*).

**Always compare like things; otherwise, your sentence won't be parallel.**
**Not Parallel:** *The* ***mountains of the West*** *are younger than* ***the East.***
(This sentence compares things that are not alike: *the mountains* and *the East*.)

You can correct this problem in two ways:
**Parallel:** *The* ***mountains*** *of the West are younger than the* ***mountains*** *of the East.*
(This sentence adds the second thing for comparison: *the mountains of the East*.)
**Parallel:** *The* ***mountains*** *of the West are younger than* ***those*** *of the East.*
(This sentence refers to *the mountains of the East* by adding the pronoun *those*.)￴￷￸

Observe the following rules when you combine gerunds and infinitives with verbs:

a. Some verbs take both gerunds and infinitives.
**Infinitive:** *I love* ***to swim*** *in the ocean*.
OR
**Gerund:** *I love* ***swimming*** *in the ocean*.

b. Other verbs have different meanings when combined with gerunds and infinitives.
**Infinitive:** *Sandy* ***forgot to unplug*** *the coffee pot*.
**Gerund:** *Sandy* ***forgot unplugging*** *the coffee pot*.
(In the first example, Sandy did not unplug the coffee pot. In the second, she unplugged the coffee pot but forgot she had done so.)

**Combine gerunds and infinitives correctly with verbs.**

Observe the following rules when you combine gerunds and infinitives with verbs:

c. Some verbs can be used with gerunds but not with infinitives. In general, these are transitive verbs, which take direct objects.

**Not:** *I* ***imagined to be rich***.
**But:** *I* ***imagined being rich***.

Writers sometimes use ***it, they***, and ***this*** without telling readers what these words stand for.

**Vague:** *As Jerry approached the car,* ***it*** *could be seen that his luggage had been stolen*.
**Clear:** *As Jerry approached the car, he could see that his luggage had been stolen*.

In the first version, ***it*** has no reference. To correct the error, ***it*** has been removed, and the sentence rewritten to include the pronoun ***he***, which has a clear antecedent, *Jerry*.

**Vague:** ***They*** *predict Stetson will win the election, but* ***they*** *are not always reliable*.

A pronoun can act as a subject, complement, object, or possessive. These four uses are called pronoun cases.

A subject performs action or is described.

A complement is a word that defines or explains a subject and is connected to it with verbs such as ***is, are, was, were, has been, have been***, and ***will be***.

An object receives action.

A possessive shows ownership.

==**Use Correct Pronoun Cases**==

A pronoun can act as a subject, complement, object, or possessive. These four uses are called pronoun cases.

**Pronouns as Subjects**
If you want to make a pronoun the subject of a sentence, you can use a personal, indefinite, or demonstrative pronoun.
**Personal:** ***She*** *wanted to join the club*.
**Indefinite:** ***Anyone*** *can join our club*.
**Demonstrative:** ***That*** *is my coat*.
----
==**Use Correct Pronoun Cases**==

A pronoun can act as a subject, complement, object, or possessive. These four uses are called pronoun cases.

**Subject Pronouns Before Nouns**
Be careful when a pronoun comes immediately before a noun it refers to. If the noun is a subject, the pronoun is also a subject.

**Not:** ***Us*** *students gave blood at Community Hospital*.
**But:** ***We*** *students gave blood at Community Hospital*.
----
==**Use Correct Pronoun Cases**==

A pronoun can act as a subject, complement, object, or possessive. These four uses are called pronoun cases.

**Pronouns in Compound Subjects**
Writers are sometimes confused about which pronoun to use when the subject contains a noun and a pronoun or more than one pronoun. The next two examples use the wrong pronouns:
**Not:** *Angelo and* ***me*** *play basketball on Tuesdays*.
**Not:** *Marjorie and* ***her*** *went swimming*.
The pronouns ***me*** and ***her*** are objects. But in the sentences above, they are used as subjects. The correct versions are
**But:** *Angelo and* ***I*** *play basketball on Tuesdays*.
**But:** *Marjorie and* ***she*** *went swimming*.
----
==**Use Correct Pronoun Cases**==

A pronoun can act as a subject, complement, object, or possessive. These four uses are called pronoun cases.

**Pronouns as Complements**
A complement is a word that defines or explains a subject and is connected to it by a verb such as ***is, are, was, were, has been, have been***, and ***will be***. Pronouns used as complements are the same as those used as subjects.

"It is ***I*** (not me)," Fino said as he rang the bell. (*I* is the subject of the sentence.)
The winners were Dana and ***he*** (not him). (*Dana* and *he* are the subjects.)
----
==**Use Correct Pronoun Cases**==

A pronoun can act as a subject, complement, object, or possessive. These four uses are called pronoun cases.

**Pronouns as Objects**
If you want to make a pronoun the object of a sentence, you can use a personal, indefinite, or demonstrative pronoun. Remember that an object is a receiver of action.

**Personal:** *Mayor Rodriguez called* ***me*** *last night*.
**Indefinite:** *Fran knows somebody* ***who*** *can speak Creole*.
**Demonstrative:** *Pointing to the roses, he said: "I want* ***these***."

==**Use Correct Pronoun Cases**==

A pronoun can act as a subject, complement, object, or possessive. These four uses are called pronoun cases.

**Pronouns in Compound Objects**
Writers are sometimes confused about which pronoun to use when the object contains a noun and a pronoun or more than one pronoun. The next two examples use the wrong pronouns.
*Freddie challenged Angelo and* ***I*** *to a game*.
*Evelyn called Sonia and* ***she***.

The pronouns ***I, she***, and ***we*** are subjects, doers of action. But in the sentences above, they are used as objects, receivers of action. The correct versions are below.

*Freddie challenged Angelo and* ***me*** *to a game*.
*Evelyn called Sonia and* ***her***.
----
==**Use Correct Pronoun Cases**==

A pronoun can act as a subject, complement, object, or possessive. These four uses are called pronoun cases.

**Pronouns as Objects of Prepositions**
A preposition comes before a noun or pronoun and shows how that word relates to the rest of the sentence. Pronouns that come after prepositions act as objects.

*My sister called to* ***me*** *(not I) across the field*.
*Senator Mendoza spoke with* ***them*** *(not they) yesterday*.
----
==**Use Correct Pronoun Cases**==

A pronoun can act as a subject, complement, object, or possessive. These four uses are called pronoun cases.

**Object Pronouns Before Nouns**
**CAUTION:** Be careful when a pronoun comes immediately before a noun to which it refers. If the noun is an object, the pronoun is an object too.

**Not:** *Community Hospital asked* ***we*** *students to give blood*.

----
==**Use Correct Pronoun Cases**==

A pronoun can act as a subject, complement, object, or possessive. These four uses are called pronoun cases.

**Personal Pronouns as Possessives**

A possessive pronoun shows ownership or a relationship between the pronoun and the noun that follows it. Certain possessive pronouns are used before the noun; others are used after the noun.

***My*** *dog is a German shepherd*.
*Elaine and Bob loved* ***their*** *mother*.
*The challenge is* ***ours!***
*The bill is* ***hers***.

----
==**Use Correct Pronoun Cases**==

A pronoun can act as a subject, complement, object, or possessive. These four uses are called pronoun cases.

**Indefinite Pronouns as Possessives**
You can make an indefinite pronoun possessive by adding *'s*.

***Everyone's*** *right to vote is sacred*.
***No one's*** *children should go hungry*.

==**Use Correct Pronoun Cases**==

A pronoun can act as a subject, complement, object, or possessive. These four uses are called pronoun cases.

**Possessives with** ***-ing*** **Verbs**

Verbs ending in ***-ing*** name activities. They are called **gerunds**. Here are some examples: ***swimming, crying, running, speaking, breathing, thinking***. Whenever gerunds come immediately after pronouns, those pronouns are possessive.

***His*** *(not him)* ***snoring*** *disturbed us*.
***Their*** *(not them)* ***coming*** *home late angered their mother*.

**Use hyphens to join compound adjectives--words that work together to describe a noun**. Make sure these words come before, not after, the noun.

 
|**Hyphenated**|**Not hyphenated**
|ten-foot pole|a pole that is ten feet long
|executive-training course|a course to train executives
|Chicago-Los Angeles train|a train from Chicago to Los Angeles
|appliance-repair shop|a shop that repairs appliances

In all the cases where the words are hyphenated, there is more than one word, they are acting together to describe the same word, and they appear before the word they are describing.

*ten-foot, executive-training, Chicago-Los Angeles, applicance-repair*
Each of these requires two words, describes one word, appears before the word they are describing (pole, course, train, shop).

Like a comma, a semicolon (;) tells the reader to pause. However, the semicolon is a stronger mark of punctuation. It separates clauses and phrases that are closely related or that receive the same emphasis.

If the semicolons were replaced by commas, readers might not be able to tell where one item ends and the next begins. After all, each item already contains a comma of its own.

Repeating words or ideas unnecessarily risks boring or confusing the reader. Include only words that have a real purpose. Of course, repetition is natural early in the writing process. You might use more words than needed in rough drafts just to make sure you have covered the topic. When revising and editing, however, remove words that serve no purpose or that say the same thing as others you have used.

**Subject:** ***Hiking*** *is my favorite sport*.

**Object:** *The French have perfected* ***winemaking***.

==**Use Gerunds and Infinitives Correctly**==

**An infinitive is the basic form of a verb preceded by** ***to***. **Infinitives can be nouns, adjectives, or adverbs**.

**Noun:** ***To cry*** *over a friend's death is not a sign of weakness*.

**Adjective:** *When I go shopping, I make a list of things* ***to buy***.

**Adverb:** *She stopped* ***to buy*** *some groceries.*
----
==**Use Gerunds and Infinitives Correctly**==

**Using Gerunds and Infinitives with Verbs**

Some verbs can be used with both gerunds and infinitives with no change in meaning:

**Gerund:** *I love* ***watching*** *old science-fiction movies*.
**Infinitive:** *I love* ***to watch*** *old science-fiction movies*.

However, other verbs mean one thing when used with a gerund and another when used with an infinitive:

**Gerund:** *Ali forgot* ***writing*** *a check to the landlord*.
**Infinitive:** *Ali forgot* ***to write*** *a check to the landlord*.￴￷￸

Italic style uses letters that slant upward and to the right. If you are not using a typewriter or computer that makes italics, underline words that would appear in italics. When underlining is not possible (such as in a text-based email message), often an underscore character ( _ ) is used to indicate italics or emphasis.

**Use italics to emphasize a word or phrase.**

The speaker said, "The U.S. owes its lenders three trillion dollars. Now that's a deficit."

The speaker said, "The U.S. owes its lenders three trillion dollars. Now *that's* a deficit."

**Parallelism**
Parallelism is the consistent and logical use of the same grammatical construction--word, phrase or clause--in a series, with comparisons/contrasts, correlative pairs, and relative pronouns ***who*** and ***that***.

You can use the relative pronoun ***that*** to introduce a subordinate clause. But be consistent if you use more than one subordinate clause. Make sure each is introduced the same way.
 **Not Parallel:** *I knew* ***that*** *I wouldn't get there and my friends would be worried.*
 **Parallel:** *I knew* ***that*** *I wouldn't get there and* ***that*** *my friends would be worried.*

**NOTE:** In the first example, one subordinate clause is introduced by *that*; the other isn't. In the second example, both subordinate clauses are introduced by *that*; the sentence is parallel.￴￷￸

**The tense of a verb is the time a verb expresses**. If not done logically, shifting from one tense to another in the same sentence can cause problems. The following sentence uses both the **present** tense (*drives*) and the **past** tense (*took*) to express things happening at different times. Therefore, in this case, shifting from present tense to past tense is logical.

                 **present**                                        **past**
Usually he *drives* to work, but yesterday he *took* the bus.

Here, it is not logical:
Yesterday, he *drove* to work and, on his way home, he *stops* for gas.
All verbs in this sentence should be in past tense since they happened *yesterday*; however, the second verb *stops* is in present tense. The verb should be *stopped.*
----
==**Avoid Illogical Verb Tense Shifts**==

Shifting verb tenses logically can serve a purpose: **to show actions occurring at different times.** But shifting verb tenses illogically---without a good reason---can make a sentence hard to read and understand.

                                                              **past**                 **present**
**Illogical Shift:** Whenever visitors approached, our dog barks loudly.
***Approached*** is in the past tense; ***barks*** is in the present. But the logic of the sentence demands that both verbs be in the same tense. After all, the sentence begins with ***Whenever***, so the dog must be barking at the same time the visitors approach.

Here are two correct versions:
**All present:** *Whenever visitors* ***approach***, *our dog* ***barks*** *loudly.*
**All past:** *Whenever visitors* ***approached***, *our dog* ***barked*** *loudly*.￴￷￸

Follow these rules when you use a direct quotation at the end of a sentence:
Exclamation points appear inside or outside quotation marks depending on the sentence's meaning.

**Inside:** ***According to Gina, "Elaine is absolutely perfect!"***
The exclamation point goes inside the quotation marks because it is the quotation, not the sentence, that is an exclamation.

**Outside:** ***Stop calling me "irritable and impatient"!***

**Use a comma to separate coordinate adjectives.**

**Coordinate adjectives** are two or more describers that follow one another and describe the same noun.
*An* ***old, red*** *barn sat on the hill*.

Sometimes, adjectives you think describe the same noun really describe a larger term, which contains an adjective and a noun.
*The* ***old high*** *school was torn down*.

*High* describes *school,* but *old* does not. *Old* describes the larger term *high school*.
----
==**Commas**==

**Use a Comma to Separate Coordinate Adjectives**
 
An easy way to decide whether adjectives are coordinate:

If placing the word *and* between the adjectives makes sense, they are coordinate and can be separated by a comma.
**Coordinate:** *The barn, which was* ***old and red***, *sat on a hill*.
**Not Coordinate:** *The school,* **which was old and high**, *was torn down*.

**CAUTION:** Don't separate two coordinate adjectives with both a comma and *and*.

There is no rule that a sentence has to begin with a subject, followed by a verb, followed by modifiers. There are several patterns you can use to make your writing more emphatic and interesting. 

Using coordination means that you are combining two or more independent, equally important or meaningful clauses into one sentence.

Using subordination means that you are combining one or more dependent clauses with one or more independent clauses. The independent clause(s) would be more important in meaning to the sentence.

**Begin with an adverb.** 

**Adverbs describe verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs**.

***Suddenly***, *the dolphin leaped out of the water and touched my outstretched hand*. 
***Far from our main camp***, *we found an old cabin where we took shelter*.
----

**Begin with an infinitive.** 
An infinitive is **the basic form of the verb preceded by the preposition** ***to***.

***To complete*** *his associate's degree, Marvin would have to pass math*. 
***To decide*** *whether someone should be sentenced to death is an awesome responsibility*.

**Begin with a preposition or a prepositional phrase.** 
Prepositions **connect or show relationships between nouns or pronouns and the rest of the sentence**. Prepositional phrases, which contain a **preposition, a noun or pronoun** can be used to begin a sentence.

***At the base of a large oak*** *we spotted the carcass of a deer*. 
***With the help of four of his largest friends***, *Bruno lifted the rear of his old Buick*.
----

**Begin or end with a participle or participial phrase.**
A participle is a **verb turned into an adjective**. Participles end in *-ed, -ing, -d, -t*, or *-n*. 
A participial phrase is a group of words containing a participle.

***Tired from a long day of driving***, *Janice pulled into a Holiday Inn at Exit 39*. 
***Running across the muddy field***, *I lost both of my shoes*. 
*Marcia smiled at her six-year-old, the boy* ***singing a solo in the school pageant***.

**Begin with an adjective.**
Adjectives, which **describe nouns and pronouns**, can make effective sentence openers.

***Exhausted***, *the soldiers fell into their foxholes*. 
***Distinct from other houses on Main Street***, *the Filmore mansion had seven large gables and a large wrap-around porch*.
----
**Reverse the position of the subject and the verb.**

**The tense of the verb refers to time**. Keep verb tenses consistent. You don't have to stick to one tense in a sentence or paragraph. However, when you change tenses, you must do so logically and only when necessary. Choose a main or controlling tense and switch to other tenses only when you want to discuss events happening at other times.

Let's say you begin a paragraph with the following sentence, which uses verbs in the present tense:
*I study Spanish two hours a day, but I still have trouble passing tests in that class*.

You can write a second sentence that compares your college Spanish class with one you took in high school by using past tense:
*In high school, I barely studied Spanish two hours a week, yet I got good grades*.
----
==**Keep Verb Tenses Consistent**==

You can write a second sentence that compares your college Spanish class with one you took in high school. You might even use the future tense in a third sentence.
*However, knowing Spanish will help me with the career I will pursue after graduation*.

Your finished paragraph might look like this:
*I study (present tense) Spanish two hours a day, but I still have trouble (present) passing tests in that class. In high school, I barely studied (past) Spanish two hours a week, yet I got (past) good grades. However, knowing Spanish will help (future) me with the career I will pursue (future) after graduation*.

**CAUTION:** Do not shift from one tense to another without purpose. For example, DO NOT write the following:
*I study (present) Spanish two hours a day, but I still had trouble (past) passing tests in that class*.
----
==**Keep Verb Tenses Consistent**==

**Being Logical When Changing Tenses in a Sentence**

Sometimes you will need to talk about things happening at different times in the same sentence, and you will have to use more than one tense. Just make sure you move from tense to tense logically:
                   **past**                                **present**                  **future**  
*Friends who spoke to Jake yesterday say now that he will arrive tomorrow*.

**Being Consistent When Using the Perfect Tenses**

The present perfect uses the helping verb *have* or *has* with the past participle of a main verb. To form the past participle of regular verbs, add *-d* or *-ed* to the basic form of the verb. 
----
==**Keep Verb Tenses Consistent**==

**Using the Present Perfect Tense**

To maintain consistency, remember that the present perfect is used to talk about actions that begin in the past and continue into the present.
**Not:** *He* ***is interested*** *in stamp collecting ever since he was 17*.
**But:** *He* ***has been interested*** *in stamp collecting ever since he was 17*.

**Using the Past Perfect Tense**

Verbs in the past perfect use the helping word *had* with the past participle of a verb. To maintain consistency, remember that the **past perfect is used to talk about actions that happened in the past but that came before other past events**.
**Not:** *Before Columbus came to America, the Mayans* ***built*** (past) *a remarkable civilization*.

**The Present Perfect**

Use the present perfect to talk about actions that begin in the past and continue into the present. Verbs in present perfect use the helping verb ***have*** except in the third person singular. Then they use ***has***.

*I* ***have run*** *two miles a day for six years.*

*They* ***have developed*** *new drugs to fight AIDS*.
----
==**The Perfect Tense**==

**The Past Perfect**

Use the past perfect to talk about actions that happened in the past and that came before other events that happened in the past. Verbs in the past perfect use the helping word ***had***, the past tense of ***have***, in all cases.

Avoid Clichesslide:74899071<￴￴slide:74899071
Avoid Clichesݯ==**Avoid Clichés**==

A cliché is an expression that has been overused. As a result, it sounds stale and dull. In fact, as soon as you begin to hear or read a cliché, you can predict how it will end.

Read the following sentences and try to figure out how the clichés in them will end:

*She baked a cake that was as light as a ______.
Jason's remark was right on ______.
Janice, you have hit the nail_____ ____ _____.
After being crushed, the can lay flat as a __________*.

Watch for clichés as you rewrite the drafts of your papers. Make one last check for clichés as you edit your final draft. Trust your instincts to come up with alternatives that are clearer, more appealing, less wordy, and often more specific than clichés are.

**Use a comma in a compound sentence.**

A  <span style="color:#341ce8 "title="**Compound Sentence** A sentence made up of two independent (main) clauses that are joined by a coordinating conjunction    (*for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so*) and a comma.

A <span style="color:#341ce8 "title="**Main (Independent) Clause** A group of words that contains a subject and a verb and that can stand alone as a complete sentence. Main clauses are highlighted in the sentences below:
After Melissa sang, **everyone applauded**.
**Marion Jones**, who became company president, **was born in my hometown**.
**Mozart had composed musical masterpieces** before he reached his teens.
">main (independent) clause</span> contains a <span style="color:#341ce8 " title="**Subject**
The person, place or thing in a sentence that does the action or that the sentence describes. Nouns or pronouns can act as subjects. All sentences have subjects.

==**Commas**==

In a compound sentence, the comma comes before the coordinating conjunction (cc).

**Punctuating Long Compound Sentences**

Some compound sentences begin or end with phrases. Others begin with dependent clauses. Such phrases and clauses can also take commas.

Repeating words or ideas unnecessarily risks boring or confusing the reader. Include only words that have a real purpose. Of course, repetition is natural early in the writing process. You might use more words than needed in rough drafts just to make sure you have covered the topic. When revising and editing, however, remove words that serve no purpose or that say the same thing as others you have used.
Remove repeated words.
Remove unnecessary synonyms.
Remove redundancies
Remove Unnecessary Synonyms

**Synonyms** are words that mean the same as other words you have used. Don't use synonyms unless they add new information.

A steady flow of sentences of the same length can put your readers to sleep, so vary the length of your sentences. You can combine short, choppy sentences by using **coordination** and **subordination**. Coordination allows you to combine ideas of equal weight into one sentence. Subordination allows you to emphasize one idea over another by expressing the less important one in a subordinate clause or in a phrase. 

**Combine through coordination.**
**Choppy:** *In the second century B. C., the Mongols sailed across the Straits of Korea. They invaded Japan. They brought with them many ancient customs and beliefs. Their most important contribution was the Shinto religion*. 

**Combined:** *In the second century B. C., the Mongols sailed across the Straits of Korea,* ***and*** *they invaded Japan. They brought with them many ancient customs and beliefs,* ***but*** *their most important contribution was the Shinto religion*.

**Combine through subordination.** Subordination allows you to emphasize one idea over another by expressing the less important one in a subordinate clause or in a phrase. 

**Choppy:** *Archimedes was a scientist, mathematician, and inventor. He helped develop techniques for building that are still used by engineers today. He was born in 287 B.C. in the Greek city of Syracuse. Syracuse is located in southeastern Sicily*. 

**Combined:** *Archimedes was a scientist, mathematician, and inventor,* ***who*** *helped develop techniques for building that are still used by engineers today. He was born in 287 B.C. in the Greek city of Syracuse,* ***which*** *is located in southeastern Sicily*.

**Use cumulative sentences.**
Cumulative sentences **begin with a main idea and then add clarifying information in the phrases and clauses that follow**.

*At Runnymede in the year 1215, King John of England signed the Magna Carta, a momentous document that forever limited the power of the English monarchy*.

**Use periodic sentences.** 
Unlike cumulative sentences, periodic sentences **delay the completion of the main idea until the sentence's end, where emphasis is placed**. Notice the use of this technique in one of the most memorable lines in the Declaration of Independence:

*"And for the support of this Declaration with a firm reliance on the protection of divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor."*

**Use rhetorical questions.** 

Rhetorical questions--*to which the answer is obvious and to which no response is expected*--an help to create both interest and variety. Note that this paragraph ends with a rhetorical question.

*We are bombarded daily by television advertisements featuring high-fat, high-calorie foods like hamburgers, French fries, tacos, and pizza. We drive by giant billboards enticing us to eat ice cream, pastries, and other sweets. We sit in movie theaters where, before every film, we are reminded to visit the refreshment stand and to stock up on candy, soda, potato chips, and, of course, popcorn saturated in butter. For dessert, most of us choose Boston creme pies or hot-fudge sundaes, not fresh fruit*. ***Is it any wonder that forty percent of the American population is obese?***￴￷￸

Slang is language that has a private and often short-lived meaning. Slang can be very powerful, but it is often inexact and is usually understood by only a select group.

For example, teenagers often use words that their parents have never heard of and that are not found in contemporary newspapers, textbooks, and the like.

**Slang:**   *When the dude split, he left the chick with a kid and no bread*.

In the middle of sentences, transitions come in two forms: **conjunctive adverbs** (***also, nonetheless, nevertheless, therefore, however, etc.***) and transitional phrases (***afterwards, likewise, similarly, to the left, etc.***). Both emphasize and clarify the relationship between the independent clauses they join. Be sure to follow the transition with a comma.

**Conjunctive Adverb:**
*It's a good thing Columbus came to America* ***; otherwise,*** *the Italians would never have learned about the tomato*.

**Transitional Phrase:**
*People before Columbus knew the world wasn't flat****; in fact,*** *Eratosthenes accurately measured the earth's circumference in the third century B.C.*

Participles are adjectives made from verbs. Present participles end in *-ing*. Past participles of regular verbs end in *-d, -ed, -en, -n*, and *-t*.

**The Present Participle**
Present participles end in *-ing*. You use them to describe a noun or pronoun or to show what a noun or pronoun is doing.
*The* ***driving*** *rain entered the house*.
***Opposing*** *the new tax bill, the president vetoed it*.

**The Past Participle**
Past participles of regular verbs end in *-d, -ed, -en, -n*, and *-t*. Past participles of irregular verbs must be learned individually. (See the table above.) Use past participles to show what is done to a noun or pronoun.
***Driven*** *by strong winds, rain entered the house*.
***Opposed*** *by the president, the tax bill became law.*

If the antecedent is singular, the pronoun that refers to it is singular. If the antecedent is plural, the pronoun that refers to it is plural.

A fused sentence, also called a run-on sentence, joins two independent (main) clauses without a conjunction and/or proper punctuation. A fused sentence combines two complete sentences without indicating where one stops and the other begins.

**Fused:** *Chefs cook waiters serve*. 
**Correct:** *Chefs cook; waiters serve.* 

**Fused:** *The jury discussed the case* ***carefully they*** *reviewed each piece of evidence*. 
**Correct:** *The jury discussed the case* ***carefully. They*** *reviewed each piece of evidence*.

**Correct Fused Sentences in Five Ways**
1. End one independent (main) clause with a period. Capitalize the first word of the next.

**Not:** *The apartment dwellers* ***screamed fire*** *engulfed the building*. 
**But:** *The apartment dwellers* ***screamed. Fire*** *engulfed the building*.

2. Place a comma (,) and a coordinating conjunction (***and, but, for, nor, or, yet, so***) between the independent clauses.

**Not:** Peter supported his parents and siblings only he had been able to find a job. 
**But:** *Peter supported his parents and* ***siblings, for*** *only he had been able to find a job*.

3. Place a semicolon (;) between the two independent (main) clauses.

**Not:** *The police car* ***stopped the*** *ambulance sped ahead*. 
**But:** *The police car* ***stopped; the*** *ambulance sped ahead*.
----
4. Place a semicolon (;) and a transition between the independent clauses. Transitions include words and phrases such as

|consequently|nevertheless|after all|in fact|
|furthermore|nonetheless|as a result|in other words|
|however|therefore|for example|in the meantime|
|moreover|thus|in addition|on the other hand | 

**Not:** *Thomas Hardy is remembered chiefly for his* ***novels he*** *also wrote poetry*. 
**But:** *Thomas Hardy is remembered chiefly for his* ***novels; however,*** *he also wrote poetry*.

5. Turn one of the independent (main) clauses into a dependent (subordinate) clause.

Repeating words or ideas unnecessarily risks boring or confusing the reader. Include only words that have a real purpose. Of course, repetition is natural early in the writing process. You might use more words than needed in rough drafts just to make sure you have covered the topic. When revising and editing, however, remove words that serve no purpose or that say the same thing as others you have used.

**Ways To Avoid Unnecessary Repetition**
         Remove repeated words.
         Remove unnecessary synonyms.
         Remove redundancies.
**Remove Repeated Words**
Repeating a word in the same or in a nearby sentence can cause wordiness.

**Sexism With Indefinite Pronouns**

Indefinite pronouns, such as *anybody, each, neither*, and *someone*, can be general in meaning and not refer to specific persons, places, or things. They are singular. Unfortunately, writers sometimes use masculine pronouns--*he, his*, and *him*--to refer to indefinite pronouns. Using only feminine pronouns to refer to indefinite pronouns is less frequent, but it too is sexist.

**Ways to Avoid Sexism When Using Indefinite Pronouns** 
Use both masculine and feminine forms or remove the pronoun of reference.
**Sexist:** ***Everyone*** *should cast* ***his*** *vote on Election Day.*
**Revised:** ***Everyone*** *should cast* ***his or her*** *vote on Election Day*.
**Revised:** ***Everyone*** *should vote on Election Day*.

**NOTE:** To drop the pronoun, you might have to rewrite the sentence.
----
==**Avoid Sexist Language**==

Replace the pronoun with *a, an*, or *the*.

**Sexist:** ***Each*** *employee reports to* ***his*** *supervisor*.
**Revised:** ***Each*** *employee reports to* ***a*** *supervisor*.

Use a plural noun and pronoun.

**Sexist:** ***Everyone*** *should communicate with* ***his*** *professor*.
**Revised:** ***Students*** *should communicate with* ***their*** *professors*.

**CAUTION:** Make sure that the pronoun agrees in number with its antecedent--the word it refers to. Use singular pronouns with singular antecedents; use plural pronouns with plural antecedents.
----
==**Avoid Sexist Language**==

**Sexism With Generic Nouns**

Generic nouns do not refer to a specific sex. Most nouns in English are generic. Exceptions include such words as *mother* and *father*. You can use the methods you just learned to avoid sexist language when using pronouns that refer to generic nouns, nouns that are neither male nor female.

**Sexist:** ***A student*** *must show* ***his*** *identification card at the library*.
**Revised:** ***A*** *student must show* ***his or her*** *identification card at the library.*
**Revised:** ***A student*** *must show* ***an*** *identification card at the library*.
**Revised:** ***Students*** *must show* ***their*** *identification cards at the library*.
----
==**Avoid Sexist Language**==

Sexism also becomes a problem when you use female pronouns to refer to members of a group that contains both men and women.

**Sexist:** ***A nurse*** *must regularly update* ***her*** *skills*.
**Revised:** ***Nurses*** *must regularly update* ***their*** *skills*.

**CAUTION:** When correcting sexist language, make sure that pronouns agree with their antecedents.

**Incorrect:** ***The student*** *is required to bring* ***their*** *calculators to class*.
**Revised:** ***Students*** *are required to bring* ***their*** *calculators to class*.

**NOTE:** Another way to avoid sexism is to replace sex-specific terms with sex-neutral terms when appropriate. For example, you might easily substitute *firefighters* for *firemen*.￴￷￸

Using Adverbsslide:913516126<￴￴slide:913516126
Using Adverbs൜==**Adjectives and Adverbs**==

**Master Adverbs**

**Adverbs describe verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs**. Adverbs answer questions such as *When? Where? How? Why? Under what conditions? and To what extent?* Many adverbs end in *-ly*. However, ***soon, very, fast, seldom, often***, and ***well*** are also adverbs.

**Describing a Verb:** *Musicologists believe that Rachmaninoff's Third Concerto* ***successfully*** *combines themes from Russian folk and liturgical music*.
**Describing an Adjective:** *Some parts of the Third Concerto are* ***extremely*** *meditative, even dreamlike*.
**Describing Another Adverb:** *When introduced during the composer's 1909 American tour, the Third Concerto was* ***very*** *well received*.
----

==**Using Adverbs Versus Adjectives**==

**Use an adverb, not an adjective, when you describe a verb, adjective, or other adverb**. If you are not sure whether a word is an adjective or an adverb, check the dictionary.

**Not:** *Vladimir Ashkenazy played the two Rachmaninoff piano concertos* ***skillful*** *and* ***passionate.***
**But:** *Vladimir Ashkenazy played the two Rachmaninoff piano concertos* ***skillfully*** *and* ***passionately.***
----
==**Comparing Adverbs**==

Like adjectives, adverbs can be compared. That is, they can be put into the comparative and superlative forms. **Use the comparative form to compare two things; use the superlative form to compare more than two things**. For example:
**Adverb:** *Sam works* ***quickly***.
**Comparative:** *Sam works* ***more quickly*** *than I*.
**Superlative:** *Of everyone in our class, Sam works* ***most quickly***.

To compare adverbs that end in *-ly* (there are many of these), add *more/most* or *less/least* to the adverb.
**Adverb        Comparative             Superlative**
*quickly         more quickly            most quickly*
*lively            less lively                  least lively*
----
==**Comparing Adverbs**==

**NOTE:** With adverbs that do not end in ***-ly*** (there are only a few of these), use the***-er*** and ***-est*** endings or use ***more/most*** or ***less/least***. If you don't know which method to use, check the dictionary for the correct comparative and superlative forms.

**Adverb         Comparative            Superlative**
*fast               faster                       fastest*
*often             less often                least often*
----
==**Learn to Use Adjectives and Adverbs with Sense Words**==

Writers sometimes use verbs such as ***look, sound, smell, touch***, and ***taste*** incorrectly, especially if they confuse the subject of an action with its object.

**Not:** *The taco didn't taste* ***well***.
**But:** *The taco didn't taste* ***good***.
Make sure you know what you are describing. If you are describing how a taco tastes, you might write
*The taco tastes* ***good***.

If you are discussing your ability to taste, you might write
*I can't taste food* ***well***; *I have a cold.*
**NOTE:** In the first sentence, a noun, *taco*, is being described; therefore, the adjective *good* must be used. In the second, a verb, *taste*, is being described; therefore, the *adverb* well must be used.
----
==**Check Your Meaning: Adverbs versus Adjectives**==

**CAUTION:** Substituting an adverb for an adjective can create a new meaning. 
**Adjective:** *Sam looked* ***nervous***.

**Use a comma around nonrestrictive modifiers and sentence interrupters.**
 
A nonrestrictive modifier (adjective) helps describe a noun but does not define it and is not essential to its meaning. If you left that modifier out of the sentence, the sentence's meaning would not change.

A restrictive modifier identifies a noun or distinguishes it from all other such nouns. This type of modifier limits the noun's meaning to one particular person, place, or thing.

Nonrestrictive (information not essential): *Sally Franks*, ***who learned to drive at age 13***, *works as a mechanic at Ted's Garage*.
Restrictive (distinguishes this woman from other women): *The woman* ***who works as a mechanic at Ted's Garage*** *learned to drive at age 13*.

**An Easy Way to Distinguish Restrictive and Nonrestrictive Modifiers**

A modifier that can be removed without affecting the meaning of the sentence is nonrestrictive and needs commas.
*Students*, ***who can use campus services free of charge***, *must show their IDs before entering the library*.

If you removed the modifier, the sentence would read
*Students must show their IDs before entering the library*.

The clause *who can use campus services free of charge* doesn't restrict the meaning of students to a specific group of students. The clause refers to all students.

Conjunctive adverbs are used to connect one independent clause to another independent clause. Some commonly used conjunctive adverbs are ***however, therefore, thus, moreover, consequently, also, hense, furthermore, nonetheless, otherwise, meanwhile, subsequently, and likewise.*** Conjunctive adverbs are not interchangeable. The choice of a conjunctive adverb depends on how it is used in the context (meaning) of the sentence.
 **Not:** *So many of the new programs on television are reality shows;* ***therefore***, *at some point, the viewing audience will tire of these shows which seem to be anything but reality.*
**But:** *So many of the new programs on television are reality shows;* ***however,*** *at some point, the viewing audience will tire of these shows which seem to be anything but reality.*
Notice how the conjunctive adverb ***therefore*** which usually signals agreement, does not fit the context of the sentence. Instead, the conjunctive adverb ***however*** which signals disagreement or contradiction is the correct conjunctive adverb.
