Question

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:

• "It adds detail about the photographs": The underlined clause "that I stored in the attic" gives more information (detail) about the photographs, specifying where they were stored.
• "It tells the reader which photographs are being discussed": By specifying the photographs stored in the attic, it clarifies which photographs the sentence is referring to.
• "It gets readers excited about photography": The clause does not relate to exciting readers about photography, so this is incorrect.
• "It creates a compound - complex sentence": The original sentence has a complex part (the underlined dependent clause) and a compound part (the two independent clauses separated by "but"), so adding the underlined clause contributes to making it a compound - complex sentence.
• "It shows that the photographs can be restored": The clause about storage does not show restoration possibility; that is in the latter part of the sentence.

Answer:

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