sentences

Explanation:

This problem involves sentence structure, types, and correction, which falls under Linguistics (a subfield of Arts). For part A, we'll create sentences of each type about physical activity. Declarative states a fact, Interrogative asks a question, Imperative gives a command, Exclamatory shows strong feeling. For part B, we combine sentences with conjunctions. For run - on correction, we use proper punctuation and conjunctions. For subject - predicate, we identify the complete subject (who/what the sentence is about) and complete predicate (what is said about the subject). For compound subject/predicate, we combine actions or subjects.

Part A

• Declarative: Physical activity keeps the body healthy. (States a fact about physical activity)
• Interrogative: Does physical activity improve mental health? (Asks a question about physical activity)
• Imperative: Go for a walk to get some physical activity. (Gives a command related to physical activity)
• Exclamatory: How beneficial physical activity is for overall well - being! (Shows strong feeling about physical activity)

Part B

1. Election Day is only one week away, and the candidates are campaigning tirelessly. (Combined with the conjunction "and")
2. We left early for the cottage, but traffic was heavy, so we got in late. (Combined with "but" and "so" to show relationships between the events)

Correcting Run - on Sentences

1. There was a tornado warning; so we went to the basement. (Used a semicolon and "so" to show the cause - effect relationship) Or: There was a tornado warning, so we went to the basement. (Used a comma and "so")
2. The storm passed; and nobody got hurt. (Used a semicolon and "and") Or: The storm passed, and nobody got hurt. (Used a comma and "and")

Underlining Subject and Circling Predicate

1. $\underline{\text{The side of the road}}$ was $\circled{\text{covered in garbage}}$. (Complete subject: The side of the road; Complete predicate: was covered in garbage)
2. $\underline{\text{Everyone in the stadium}}$ $\circled{\text{gasped when the ball flew into the crowd}}$. (Complete subject: Everyone in the stadium; Complete predicate: gasped when the ball flew into the crowd)
3. $\underline{\text{Ana's new baby sister}}$ $\circled{\text{kept her awake all night with her crying}}$. (Complete subject: Ana's new baby sister; Complete predicate: kept her awake all night with her crying)
4. $\underline{\text{The neighbourhood vandals}}$ $\circled{\text{smashed all the mailboxes on the street}}$. (Complete subject: The neighbourhood vandals; Complete predicate: smashed all the mailboxes on the street)

Combining with Compound Subject/Predicate

1. Felicia picked up her backpack and walked out the door. (Compound predicate: combined "picked up her backpack" and "walked out the door")
2. Band practice and soccer practice are on Mondays. (Compound subject: Band practice and soccer practice)

Answer:

Part A

• Declarative: Physical activity keeps the body healthy.
• Interrogative: Does physical activity improve mental health?
• Imperative: Go for a walk to get some physical activity.
• Exclamatory: How beneficial physical activity is for overall well - being!

Part B

1. Election Day is only one week away, and the candidates are campaigning tirelessly.
2. We left early for the cottage, but traffic was heavy, so we got in late.

Run - on Sentence Correction

1. There was a tornado warning, so we went to the basement. (or There was a tornado warning; so we went to the basement.)
2. The storm passed, and nobody got hurt. (or The storm passed; and nobody got hurt.)

Subject - Predicate Identification

1. $\underline{\text{The side of the road}}$ was $\circled{\text{covered in garbage}}$.
2. $\underline{\text{Everyone in the stadium}}$ $\circled{\text{gasped when the ball flew into the crowd}}$.
3. $\underline{\text{Ana's new baby sister}}$ $\circled{\text{kept her awake all night with her crying}}$.
4. $\underline{\text{The neighbourhood vandals}}$ $\circled{\text{smashed all the mailboxes on the street}}$.

Compound Subject/Predicate

1. Felicia picked up her backpack and walked out the door.
2. Band practice and soccer practice are on Mondays.
