Read the sentence. nia, my best friend, scored the winning goal. which is the best revision of the sentence? nia my best friend scored the winning goal. nia, my best friend scored the winning goal. nia my best friend, scored the winning goal. no change answer is d.

The correct answer is the last option: no change.

The sentence "Nia, my best friend, scored the winning goal." has a non-defining relative clause ("my best friend"). These clauses are usually between commas like in the sentence.

A relative clause is used as a modifier to a noun and it's considered non-defining when it doesn't have crucial information that is necessary for the sentence. In this case, you could get rid of "my best friend" and the meaning of the sentence is the same and does not need anything else.

The answer is D: No Change

answer: j

explanation:

sentences vary by structure as well as by function. there are compound, complex, and compound-complex sentences.

simple sentence

i like to read.

a simple sentence has one independent clause.

compound sentence

i like to read, and i also like to write.

a compound sentence includes more than one independent clause, connected by a coordinating conjunction (and, but, for, nor, or, so, or yet).

complex sentence

i prefer to read books that are bestsellers.

a complex sentence includes one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. (a dependent clause is one that cannot stand alone.) types of dependent clauses include relative clauses (i kicked the boy who pinched me), adverb clauses (i am going home now because i have a curfew), and noun clauses (i don't know what to do next).

compound-complex sentence

although i prefer to read current bestsellers, i do like to read old agatha christie mysteries, and i also like some 20th-century science fiction.

compound-complex sentences take a bunch of clauses (multiple independent clauses, and one or more dependent clauses) and toss them together like a salad. although these sentences take practice to write in a grammatically correct fashion, they can hold a tremendous amount of meaning, and are common in academic writing.
