The movement of the progress bar may be uneven becouse questions can be worth more or less (including zero) depending on your answer
Read the following passage:
"During the 2018 eruption of Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii, millions of people were riveted by images of lava spreading across the landscape and
into the sea. Many wondered who owns this strange new landscape. According to the Hawaii Supreme Court, it depends. If the lava covered
existing ground, the previous landowners retain possession. Too bad it's now a steaming hellscape with zero property value. Where lava hit the
ocean and hardened, adding completely new land along the coast, it belongs to the state. People who own what used to be oceanfront property will
have to be content with being merely close to the beach instead."
The main idea of the reading is that ownership of lava lands in Hawaii is split between the state and existing property holders. Which of the
sentences below is a supporting detail for that idea?

Explanation:

the puritans believed that god had formed a unique covenant, or agreement, with them. they believed that god expected them to live according to the scriptures, to reform the anglican church, and to set a good example that would cause those who had remained in england to change their sinful ways.

1. an introductory word, phrase, or clause which is missing the word(s) it is supposed to modify- dangling modifier

words, clauses or phrases which add description is known as a modifier. a modifier is found before or after the target words that they want to describe.

for example: happily, she ran towards her father.

herein, happily precedes 'she', its target.

whereas, when an author forgets to mention the target and includes the modifier thus it is known as a dangling modifier, wherein modifier has nothing to describe. these are the errors which confuse the reader.

2. a noun or pronoun's function within a sentence- elliptical clause

it is a clause in which words are being left out. on the other hand, the missing word is understood due to the logic or pattern of the sentence.

for example:

she had five apples;   kanishk, three.

herein the verb 'had' is missing which is otherwise understood.

3. to quickly run: split infinitive

it refers to the construction of the sentence in which infinitive consists with the word or an adverb between to and verb.

for example, he used to secretly ate those apples.

4. a clause with either an implied subject or verb: elliptical clause

5. a word that joins words or phrases of the same grammatical type: coordinating conjunctions are the words which connect clauses and phrases. there are seven coordinating conjunctions that are, yet, so, or, for, and, nor, and but.

for example:

the boy refused to complete the homework nor will he take the punishment.

'and' is the coordinating conjunction.

7. pronoun with no specific antecedent: indefinite pronouns are the pronouns which do not refer to anyone specifically.

for example several, nobody, some and so forth.

8. a pair of words like either/or: correlative conjunctions

these are the pairs of conjunctions used in a sentence to join elements together. these are, , not also, and so forth.

9. masculine and feminine forms: gender

gender refers to the cultural, psychological and behavioral traits that are associated with a particular sex.
