The evaluation of the sentence "The pirate who sailed his ship in the Atlantic Ocean Pickering from British Naval ships irritating the British navy" is that it is incomplete because it lacks a complete predicate.
The phrase lacks a main verb and does not convey a complete thought. The structure of the sentence seems to be jumbled, preventing it from clearly indicating what the pirate is doing or what action is being taken.
The grammatical structure used in the sentence "During the scenic tour of the national park, the cascading waterfall was photographed repeatedly" is passive voice.
In passive voice constructions, the subject of the sentence (in this case, "the cascading waterfall") receives the action of the verb ("was photographed") rather than performing the action.
The best description of the sentence "Unfazed by the morning frenzy before school, dad gave us our lunches before we left" is:
The sentence is built around the simple subject "dad" and simple predicate "gave." It also contains both a direct object "lunches" and indirect object "us."
In this sentence, "dad" is the subject performing the action, "gave" is the main verb (predicate), "us" is the indirect object (the recipient of the lunches), and "lunches" is the direct object (the thing being given).
In the sentence "As part of my presentation, I read my class the final stanza of the poem and then I performed the critique," the word that functions as the indirect object is "class."
The indirect object is the recipient of the action, and in this case, "my class" is receiving the "final stanza," which is the direct object of the verb "read."
The verbs that would be appropriate to use in an essay written in the past tense are:
These verbs are in the past tense and convey actions that were completed in the past. The other options, "exclude" and "overpower," are in the present tense and would need to be changed to their past forms ("excluded" and "overpowered") to fit in a past tense context.
The complete predicate of the sentence "Before taking any drastic measures, the writer decided to carefully review his novel to see if there was anything he could salvage" is:
"decided to carefully review his novel to see if there was anything he could salvage."
This part of the sentence includes the verb "decided" and all the information that follows it, describing what the writer decided to do.
