Explanation:

Question 1

We need to combine the two sentences using an appropriate correlative conjunction. The two options are mutually exclusive (either get a ride now or walk later), so "either...or" is suitable.

Step1: Identify the conjunction

We choose "either...or" as the two actions are alternative choices.

Step2: Combine the sentences

Replace the full stops and structure the sentences with the conjunction.

• Prepositions: Words that show the relationship between a noun/pronoun and other words. In the sentence, "Throughout", "for", "in" are prepositions.
• Prepositional Phrases: Phrases starting with a preposition. So "Throughout June", "for the play", "in the classroom" are prepositional phrases.
• Subject: The noun/pronoun doing the action. Here, "the class" is the subject.
• Verb Phrase: The verb and its related parts. Here, "practices" is the verb phrase.

Step1: Identify prepositions

Circle "Throughout", "for", "in".

Step2: Identify prepositional phrases

Cross out "Throughout June", "for the play", "in the classroom".

Step3: Identify subject and verb phrase

Underline "the class" once and underline "practices" twice.

The root "spec" means "to look". We need to find words with this root.

• "spectator" (someone who looks at an event)
• "inspect" (to look into something)
• "spectacle" (something to look at)
• "speculate" (to look into possibilities, think about)
• "respect" (to look at someone with esteem, originally "to look back" or "regard")

Step1: Recall words with "spec" root

Think of common words with the root "spec".

Step2: List the words

List five valid words.

Answer:

You can either get a ride with me now or walk home later.
