<span>An independent clause is a clause that can stand alone as a sentence (i.e., it expresses a complete thought). An independent clause, like all clauses, has a subject and verb. When there are no dependent clauses in the same sentence as an independent clause, the independent clause is a simple sentence.</span>
Answer: What is the goal of the presentation?
Explanation:
I would ask this first because the most important thing in your presentation is what your goal is and what you want to accomplish. Without knowing what your goal is, you will not be able to focus on the other things you mentioned.
It comes from the heart, you have to be brave and strong to have courage.
Answer:
I believe the best answers are:
blank 1 -- C) that has
blank 2 -- A) NO CHANGE
Explanation:
The original sentence, "...the US government has the power to take custody of land when having historical significance or great natural beauty" is a bit ambiguous. Who has historical significance? We assume it is the land. But, in the way it is phrased, it could also be the government. To eliminate such ambiguity, the best option is letter C) that has. It will help determine a certain land can be taken. What land? The one that has historical significance.
As for the sentence, "The designation of a territory as a national park, national monument, or other types of protected area can limit activities," I don't see any reasons for changes. Especially because of the word "other", which needs to be completed by a plural noun - eliminating options B and C. Letter D wouldn't be incorrect, but the transformation of "protected area" into an adjective for "types" is unnecessary. The sentence is perfect the way it is and, therefore, needs NO CHANGE.
