AnswersPart A

  1. nela at word level: two objects of the feeling, level, together.
  2. thona at clause level: both qualities asserted, the smallness set against the expectation the beauty raised.
  3. sola inside a question: the fork stands within wa, and the listener may take either path.
  4. we opening the second sentence: the dog is added to the established players, participant as news.
  5. nela at every list boundary: three members, each join audible.

AnswersPart B

  1. mia theo nela sheluo.
  2. sileta sulae nai nela howeli phaelu nai.
  3. shia shaelo thona thesua nai.
  4. mia so theo sola mia so thalo.
  5. thia shea sola maeli pula.
  6. melu shua. we thiku miona shua.

AnswersPart C

  1. Ungrammatical for the meaning: the list needs every joint. shiro nela peloru nela whelina.
  2. Ungrammatical: we reaches back, and nothing is established to reach back to. shiro nela peloru.
  3. Fine, defend it: clause coordination with the second subject dropped while it remains recoverable, tense and negation intact. The machinery composing exactly as designed.
  4. Ungrammatical: an object noun cannot pair with a clause. mia peloru nila nela thia theo.
  5. Grammatical but the wrong edge: it adds playing to the dog's doings. The new participant takes we before the subject: we lohau wile.

AnswersPart D

  1. thona, the local contrast inside one sentence: mia shelomu thona thia ma shelomu.
  2. whekai after a period; the turn redirects the whole line, and the conjunction's scope is too small to hold it.
  3. wa with sola inside: wa sileta sulae nai sola howeli pelui nai.
  4. we opening the addition: melu to shua. we lopia to shua.

AnswersPart E

  1. I love friends and family.
  2. They speak, but the people do not listen.
  3. You can help me, or I can help myself: two full paths, and the reflexive bending the second one home.
  4. I will read, or I will walk: both futures live, the choice not yet made.
