I'll solve this problem by identifying the correlative conjunctions in each sentence. Correlative conjunctions are pairs of words that work together to join two equal parts of a sentence.
Let me go through each sentence one by one:
1. "The Earth revolves around the Sun, so does the Moon around the Earth."
- This sentence doesn't contain a correlative conjunction pair. It uses "so" as a coordinating conjunction, not as part of a correlative pair.
2. "The street was so crowded that I could hardly walk."
- This contains the correlative conjunction pair "so...that".
3. "Hardly had Tom finished eating lunch when the bell rang."
- This contains the correlative conjunction pair "hardly...when".
4. "Before entering politics, President Donald Trump was both a businessman and a TV star."
- This contains the correlative conjunction pair "both...and".
5. "Whether it rains or not, we will play football today."
- This contains the correlative conjunction pair "whether...or".
6. "I either go for a walk or spend time with my dad in the evening."
- This contains the correlative conjunction pair "either...or".
7. "Paper is neither rude nor impolite."
- This contains the correlative conjunction pair "neither...nor".
8. "Roulette is outstanding not only in academia but also in sports."
- This contains the correlative conjunction pair "not only...but also".
The task asks to underline the correlative conjunctions in each sentence. Based on my analysis, I would underline:
- Sentence 2: "so...that"
- Sentence 3: "hardly...when"
- Sentence 4: "both...and"
- Sentence 5: "whether...or"
- Sentence 6: "either...or"
- Sentence 7: "neither...nor"
- Sentence 8: "not only...but also"
Sentence 1 doesn't contain a correlative conjunction pair, so nothing would be underlined in that sentence.
