Question 1 • Language Arts 11

Read the paragraph. [1] Juwan really enjoys baking. [2] He makes the most delicious plum tarts. [3] His tarts always have a perfect flaky crust. [4] Learning how to bake from a master chef in Paris is one of his dreams. Which sentence in the paragraph is structured differently than the others?

Answer
A
sentence 1
B
sentence 2
C
sentence 3
D
sentence 4

Explanation

Sentences 1, 2, and 3 begin with a person or thing as the subject: “Juwan,” “He,” and “His tarts.” Sentence 4 begins with “Learning how to bake from a master chef in Paris,” a gerund phrase acting as the subject. Because its subject is a whole activity rather than a person or thing, sentence 4 is structured differently.
