Explanation:

Analyze the function of a conjunctive adverb

To answer Q 1.10, we examine the grammatical role of conjunctive adverbs (such as however, therefore, meanwhile). These words are used to connect two independent clauses, showing a relationship of contrast, cause, or sequence between them. This aligns with the concept of Sentence Structure by showing how independent thoughts are linked. Therefore, option A is the correct function.

Determine the correct conjunctive adverb for the context

For Q 1.11, we look at the relationship between the two independent clauses: "She studied hard" and "she did not pass the exam." The relationship is one of contrast or unexpected result. Among the choices:

• However is a conjunctive adverb showing contrast.
• And, Or, and But are coordinating conjunctions, not conjunctive adverbs.

Thus, "However" (Option A) is the correct conjunctive adverb to complete the sentence.

Identify the appositive phrase in the sentence

For Q 1.12, we define an appositive phrase. An appositive is a noun or noun phrase that renames, explains, or identifies another noun right next to it. In the sentence "Mrs. Rachel, my daughter's teacher, is turning 49 this year," the phrase "my daughter's teacher" is set off by commas and directly renames the proper noun "Mrs. Rachel." Therefore, "My daughter's teacher" (Option B) is the appositive phrase.
