Question
which sentence is missing an antecedent? 1. roberta has left the water on in her bathroom 2. richard has paid his field trip money 3. you must turn in your forms, or it wont happen 4. you should carry your wallet at all times
Solution 1

The correct answer is 3. You must turn in your forms, or it won't happen

Explanation:

In grammar, an antecedent is a subject, pronoun or another type of word or words usually at the beginning of a sentence that gives meaning to another word, phrase or other. This implies the antecedent is a word that precedes or come before another word whose meaning is the same or is linked to the antecedent. For example, in the sentence "I love my sister" the antecedence is "I" as it gives meaning to "my sister" whose meaning depends on the "I" and it is directly connected to it. In the case of "You must turn in your forms, or it won't happen" the antecedent should be the first part of the sentence "you must turn in your forms" but it is followed by "or it won't happen" whose meaning is not connected to the possible antecedent and does not depend on it, because of this, as there is not a relationship between one part and there other there is not an antecedent as in the second part there is no reference of the first one.

Read these paragraphs and answer the question that follows: In 2008, more than one million American students gave nearly 20 million service hours to their communities. They made a difference in people’s lives and learned some important life lessons in the process. Organizations, including schools, are actively promoting service for all citizens as a way to be involved, help others, and improve themselves. Service is helping other people and being active in your community. For example, one group of teens planted a community garden with their friends. They grow a variety of vegetables. The garden requires regular care. The teens donate the produce to a local soup kitchen. Workers there use the produce to help feed people in the community. By tending the garden and donating their produce, the teens are actively helping make life a bit better for others in their community. Service is valuable in ways that cannot be measured in dollars. People volunteer or serve others without expecting money or gifts in return. Service is not about earning money. It is not just collecting money to give to a group. It is about action and contributing to the common good. The people who serve as well as those who receive help benefit in many ways that are more important than money or gifts. For example, a soup kitchen provides essential food to people who may otherwise go hungry. The soup kitchen is extremely valuable for those struggling to get enough to eat. Those serving learn about compassion and how helping others can improve life for all. Millions of Americans are making society better for themselves and for others.

Question
“The Romantic Era” is the first unit in this course that has featured literature in prose form (novels). Today, fiction is the most popular form of literature, and romantic poetry especially is said to appeal to a broader audience than the poetry of earlier eras. As a reader, do you feel this is true? How accessible do you find the literature of the romantic era? Which texts were more accessible than others? What about these texts made them easier to comprehend and/or enjoy?
Solution 1
As a reader I find this to be true. Romantic era stories/novels are easy to come by. Everyone has heard of Edgar Allan Poe, he was a romanticism author, no was Nathaniel Hawthorne. 

Hope that's what you were looking for.
Solution 2

Answer:

I think that this is true because the older literature is harder and more confusing to read and understand. It's easily accessible because you can find it online or you can go to a library and find it all there. Romeo and Juliet and many other Shakespeare poems. The way that it was formated and the words in the story and the plot made it easier to understand than the other poems. It gave me more details on what i needed to know that was important and what wasn't.
