Read the excerpt from "daughter of invention". ", a lot, mom! " yoyo stormed out of that room and into her own. her daughters never called her mom except when they wanted her to feel how much she had failed them in this country. she was a good enough mami, fussing and scolding and giving advice, but a terrible girlfriend parent, a real failure of a mom. based on this excerpt, what can be concluded about the daughters? they sometimes wish their mother would be more like the american moms. they sometimes wish their mother would stop inventing useless things. they sometimes wish their mother would fuss over them more than she does. they sometimes wish their mother would move them to the dominican republic.

The correct answer is "They sometimes wish their mother would be more like the American moms."

We can determine this with the sentence "She was a good enough Mami, fussing and scolding and giving advice, but a terrible girlfriend parent, a real failure of a Mom." This is because they would have wanted her mom to be different, they wanted their mom to be like the American  moms, but instead she was like most moms the ones that fuss, scold and give advice whenever their children looked in the need of any of those.

"They sometimes wish their mother would be more like the American moms."

Explanation

I just took the test

a. "to practice" is the best phrase to complete the sentence.

explanation:

during the summer, she likes to practice her soccer skills so that she is ready to play in the fall.

(note that : all the other options "the practicing of", "practice for" and "to do a practice on" are inappropriate as they make the sentence grammatically incorrect.)

a complex sentence consists of an independent clause and one or more dependent clauses.  

to write complex sentences, we must use subordinating conjunctions.  

all the complex sentences begin with a subordinating conjunction and when it occurs, a comma must be place at the end of the dependent clause. on the contrary, if the sentence begins with an independent clause, then no comma is used.
