Clipped sentence "that normally takes two hours"

Is the clipped part a clause or not ? if it is a clause then what is the simple subject of it ??


Yes - the clipped part is a restrictive clause - which cannot be eliminated from the sentence without altering the meaning of the sentence-
The subject is -"The road trip that normally takes two hours" - the sentence talks about a particular road trip which takes two hours.

My Take
1)(2) C and B
2)(2) A, D and C
3)(4) B only
4)(5) A, B and D

My take on SET-78

1. 2 (B & C)
2. 4 (B,C,D)
3. :banghead::banghead:
4. 5(A,B,D)

SET 78:
my take-

1) OPTION 4 ( A & B )
2) OPTION 2 ( A,D & C)
3) OPTION 4 ( B ONLY )
4) OPTION 5 ( A,B & D )

SET 78

1)A. It is undisputable that in order to fulfill its many functions, water should be clean and biologically valuable.
B. The costs connected with the provision of biologically valuable water in food production with the maintenance of sufficiently clean water, therefore, are primarily production costs.
C. Purely 'environmental' costs seem to be in this respect only costs connected with the safeguarding of cultural, recreational and sports functions.
D. This is fulfilled by water courses and reservoirs both in nature and human settlements.
(1) D and A (2) C and B (3) C and D (4) A and B (5) A and C

By elimination-A is correct in all respects..so,options 1,4 and 5 are out of the reckoning.

That leaves us with 2 and 3.

C is common to both.So no need to check that.B and D have to be evaluated.If we look at B carefully,the food production part and the maintenance part are TWO DIFFERENT things/parts of the sentence.

So the sentence should have been-

The costs connected with the provision of biologically valuable water in food production and with the maintenance of sufficiently clean water, therefore, are primarily production costs.

The answer therefore-2.




2)A. The pollution problem of the atmosphere resemble those of the water only partly.
B. So far, the supply of air has not been deficient as was the case with water, and the dimensions of the air-shed are so vast that a number of people still hold the opinion that air need not be economized.
C. However, scientific forecasts have shown that the time may be already approaching when clear and biologically valued air will become Problem No.1.
D. People are particularly sensitive about any reducing in the quality of the atmosphere, the increased contents of dust and gaseous exhalations and particularly about the presence of odors.
(1) B, C and A (2) A, D and C (3) B, D and A (4) C, D and B (5) B and C

A clearly has an error-pollution problem resembles.So knock out options 4 and 5.

B has an error too-has not been as deficient.

D is incorrect because it should not be reducing,it should be reduction.

Answer-3.


3)A. But I don't care!
B. On going fast, that is.
C. I care about feeling in control and enjoying the act of driving.
D If I owned a Tribeca I'd tape the "off" button down.

B has an error-About going fast.
Answer-4.







4)A. The United States aren't de-industrializing.
B. Rather, many of its historic industries is getting smaller, and the jobs they offer are declining in quality.
C. The scary thing is that this re-proletarianization of industrial work is moving up the value chain.
D. Wheres' it going next?
(1) A, B and C (2) B and C (3) B and D (4) C and D (5) A, B and D



D clearly has an error-Where's
Knock out options 1,2.
B is incorrect-many of its historic industries are getting smaller.

A is incorrect-The United States isn't de-industrializing

Answer-5.

to approach mathematics as a creative activity or to force
students to memorize rules and principles (3rd OPtion) should be the answer as we use LIKE To compare two things while AS is used in comparisons that show equality.

The missing piece after "mathematics" is NOT what is similar to it, but what way mathematics should be approached. Thus, "as" is perfect.
