38. Roger has never performed a solo in his life.

The helping verb is "has". Performed is the action verb. Has helps to make the whole sentence past tense.

39. Predicate adjective

Became is a linking verb so the complement cannot be a direct or indirect object. Those are only used with action verbs. Famous is an adjective, not a noun, so it is predicate adjective.

40. Predicate adjective

The subject of the sentences is fields. The main verb "are" is a linking verb that links fields to the description of barren. This eliminates the options direct and indirect objects. Since barren is an adjective, the correct answer must be predicate adjective.

41. Predicate Nominative

The subject of the sentence is grain. This sentence uses the linking verb "is" to link grain to source. This leaves predicate adjective or nominative as the only options left. Source is a noun so the best answer is predicate nominative.

42. Us = Indirect Object, Art = Direct Object

Gives is an action verb so the predicate options are immediately eliminated. The direct object is touched first if you were to carry out the action of the sentence. In this case, you would touch the art first. It is the direct object because it directly is involved in the action. The indirect object is us. It receives the direct object and therefore is indirectly involved in the action of the verb.

43. Infinitive

Infinitive phrases contain verbs. Play is a verb in this phrase.

44. Prepositional

Prepositional phrases begin with a preposition and end with a noun. They do not contain verbs. To is a preposition and library is a noun.

45. Gerund

A gerund is a verb that ends with -ing that is used as a noun.

46. future progressive

Future progressive tense uses the helping verbs will+be and the -ing form of the verb.

47. imperative mood

The imperative mood is a command or a request. This sentence is giving a command.

48. True

You should avoid anything unnecessary when writing, especially shifts in verb tense as that can confuse the reader.

49. False

Passive voice does not add directness to your writing because passive voice is indirect.

50. sound device

Sound devices are ways to use sounds in poetry to achieve certain effects. Some of these sound devices include alliteration, onomatopoeia, and rhyme.

51. personification

Personification is giving non-human things human-like qualities, like saying that the trees danced in the wind. Trees are not humans but they are described as doing the human action of dancing.

52. stage direction

Stage directions tell what the actors are doing on stage and what the setting looks like.

53. author's purpose

The author's purpose is the reason a writer writes about a topic - it's purpose.

the theme of a story can be applied to
