d for the rest of the day, neither of us spoke. it was obvious that she was no happier about the arrangement than i was.

Explanation:

Question 7

To determine the correct change for sentence 9, we analyze each option:

• Option a: Deleting "Although" would likely create a run - on or illogical sentence structure, so this is incorrect.
• Option b: "to old" is a grammatical error. The correct phrase should be "too old" (using "too" to mean excessively). This makes sense in the context of the sentence (e.g., being excessively old for something).
• Option c: Deleting the comma would disrupt the normal sentence structure and is not a standard correction for the likely error in the sentence.
• Option d: "cheeks" is a plural noun, and changing it to "cheek's" (a singular possessive) is incorrect as there's no indication of possession or a need for a singular form here.

We analyze each option for correct sentence structure:

• Option a: The sentence "For the rest of the day, neither of us spoke, and it was obvious. That she was no happier about the arrangement than I was." is incorrect because "That she was... " is a dependent clause and should not be separated as a new sentence with a period after "obvious".
• Option b: "For the rest of the day, neither of us spoke it was obvious that she was no happier about the arrangement than I was." is a run - on sentence as there is no punctuation or conjunction between "spoke" and "it was...".
• Option c: "For the rest of the day, neither of us spoke. Which made it obvious that she was no happier about the arrangement than I was." is incorrect because "Which..." is a relative clause and should be part of the main sentence or properly connected. It cannot start a new sentence with a period before "Which".
• Option d: "For the rest of the day, neither of us spoke. It was obvious that she was no happier about the arrangement than I was." has correct sentence structure. The first sentence is an independent clause, and the second sentence is also an independent clause with a correct dependent clause ("that she was...") as the object of "obvious".

Answer:

b. Change to old to too old
