Question

using clauses to add variety and meaning
read the sentence. in what ways does the underlined clause add variety and meaning to the sentence? check all that apply.
the photographs that i stored in the attic are faded and cracked, but i think we can have them restored by a professional.
it adds detail about the photographs.
it tells the reader which photographs are being discussed.
it gets readers excited about photography.
it creates a compound - complex sentence.
it shows that the photographs can be restored.

Explanation:

1. The underlined clause "that I stored in the attic" is a relative clause. It provides details about the photographs (so "It adds detail about the photographs" is correct) and also identifies which photographs are being discussed (so "It tells the reader which photographs are being discussed" is correct).
2. The clause doesn't relate to exciting readers about photography, so that option is wrong.
3. The original sentence has two independent clauses ("The photographs... are faded and cracked" and "but I think we can have them restored by a professional") and one dependent clause (the underlined one), making it a compound - complex sentence, so "It creates a compound - complex sentence" is correct.
4. The clause itself doesn't show the photographs can be restored; the second independent clause does, so that option is wrong.

Answer:

• It adds detail about the photographs.
• It tells the reader which photographs are being discussed.
• It creates a compound - complex sentence.
