Final answer:

The answer identifies types of errors in sentences, such as parallel structure, explanation structure, and dangling construction, and provides corrections. It also addresses comma placement and subject-verb agreement to improve sentence clarity and coherence.

Explanation:

Identification and Correction of Sentence Errors

Here, we'll identify the type of error in several sentences and then suggest corrections to sentence structures and verb usage:

Parallel structure error in sentence 1 should be revised to 'after school we planned to do homework and to go swimming'.

Sentence 2 is correct (C) with no error as it already maintains a parallel structure.

Dangling construction error in sentence 3 can be corrected by specifying the subject, 'Players must do many warm-up exercises to prepare for the game'.

Explanation structure error in sentence 4 should be 'My reluctance to join your group arises from not knowing your activities'.

Each sentence either contains an error pertaining to parallel structure, explanation structure, a dangling construction, or there could be no error at all (C). It's important to recognize these issues to improve clarity and coherence in writing.

Comma Usage and Verb Correction

For review questions focusing on comma usage, we insert or omit commas where necessary:

Sentence 1 needs a comma before 'and' - 'I finally found my keys, and I got to work just in time.'

In Sentence 2, the comma after 'table' is correct, but not needed after 'and' - 'Mrs. Contreras threw out her old coffee table and cleaned the carpet.'.

Correct verb usage is pertinent for maintaining subject-verb agreement and ensuring clarity in sentences:

The correct form of the verb in 'Mathematics is the fundamental language of physics' (sentence 3).

Read the excerpt from The Odyssey. 'We are from Troy, Achaeans, blown off course by shifting gales on the Great South Sea; homeward bound, but taking routes and ways uncommon; so the will of Zeus would have it. We served under Agamemnon, son of Atreus— the whole world knows what city he laid waste, what armies he destroyed. It was our luck to come here; here we stand, beholden for your help, or any gifts you give—as custom is to honor strangers. We would entreat you, great Sir, have a care for the gods' courtesy; Zeus will avenge the unoffending guest.' He answered this from his brute chest, unmoved: 'You are a ninny, or else you come from the other end of nowhere, telling me, mind the gods! We Cyclopes care not a whistle for your thundering Zeus or all the gods in bliss; we have more force by far. I would not let you go for fear of Zeus— you or your friends—unless I had a whim to. What can be inferred about the Cyclops? He lives in fear of Zeus and all the rest of the Greek gods. He sided and fought with the Trojans during the war. He is eager to provide food and shelter to his guests. He does not live by the same rules and customs as the Greeks.

Anyone good at poetry??? I just need help analyzing this one short poem, please...


The Hurt Sonnet
by Casey Thayer

Dark days when I awaken so I slump
back to the swamp of his armpit, a whit

from the arachnid he inked to the stump
that’s left. So close to the vestige of it,

the danger he’s a reliquary of:
tattooed noose to venerate the fist

of a slug buried still in his butt above
a white cross for the men he didn’t miss.

If only I could strip off the black map
I sleep against and be his liniment,

gloss over the explosion, the mishap
phantom he feels in a forearm itch.

He won’t leave the long tale his tattoos read
for me, so I amend the story.

ANY kind of help, will be deeply appreciated!!!!
