check the box next to the sentence that uses an idiom. then explain what the idiom means.
as part of her routine, nilayah bends over backwards and holds the pose for five seconds.
the beckers bent over backwards to make sure nilayah had everything she needed for her recital.

Explanation:

• Subordinating Conjunction Check:
• “Archie got into gymnastics although it's great exercise and also fun.”: “although” is a subordinating conjunction used for contrast. But here, there's no contrast as getting into something that is great exercise and fun makes sense. So the subordinating conjunction “although” is mis - used.
• “He's not allowed to start his ring routine until the buzzer goes off.”: “until” is a correct subordinating conjunction indicating a time condition.
• Replacement Subordinating Conjunction: Since “although” was wrong in the first sentence and we need a reason - giving conjunction, “because” is the correct replacement as it shows the cause (it's great exercise and fun) for Archie getting into gymnastics.
• Misspelled Word: “connecshions” is misspelled. The correct spelling is “connections”.
• Semicolon and Comma Addition: “Gymnasts all have different strengths; for instance, uneven bars require different skills than the balance beam.” The two - word conjunctive adverb “for instance” is set off with a semicolon before it (to separate two independent clauses) and a comma after it.
• Address Capitalization: “Gymnasts Inc., 475 Vaulting Rd., Jacksonville, FL 32099”
• Idiom Check: “The Beckers bent over backwards to make sure Ni'Layah had everything she needed for her recital.” “Bent over backwards” is an idiom. It means to make a great effort, to do everything possible. The first sentence is a literal description of a physical pose and not an idiom.

Answer:

• Subordinating Conjunction Check: Check the box for “Archie got into gymnastics although it's great exercise and also fun.” and underline “although”.
• Replacement Subordinating Conjunction: Circle “because”.
• Misspelled Word: Circle “connecshions” and write “connections” on the line.
• Semicolon and Comma Addition: “Gymnasts all have different strengths; for instance, uneven bars require different skills than the balance beam.”
• Address Capitalization: “Gymnasts Inc., 475 Vaulting Rd., Jacksonville, FL 32099”
• Idiom Check: Check the box for “The Beckers bent over backwards to make sure Ni'Layah had everything she needed for her recital.” and explain that “bent over backwards” means to make a great effort.
