To solve these scrambled sentences, we need to look at the words provided for each number and arrange them so they make a complete, logical thought. We should look for capital letters to find the first word and punctuation (like periods) to know where the sentence ends. Here is the step-by-step breakdown:
1.
Words: phone, Marty, a, call, made
*
Clue: "Marty" is capitalized, so it likely starts the sentence.
*
Action: Who did what? Marty made a call. Or Marty made a phone call.
*
Draft: Marty made a phone call.
*
Check: Does it use all words? Yes. Is it grammatically correct? Yes.
2.
Words: Scout, Lisa, a, is, Girl
*
Clue: "Scout" and "Lisa" are capitalized. "Girl" is also capitalized, which might be part of a title like "Girl Scout."
*
Action: Lisa is a Girl Scout.
*
Draft: Lisa is a Girl Scout.
*
Check: Uses all words. Makes sense.
3.
Words: play, dog, that, loves, really, to
*
Clue: No obvious capital letter except possibly the start. Let's look for a subject. "dog" or "that". "That dog" is a common phrase.
*
Action: What does the dog do? It loves to play.
*
Draft: That dog really loves to play.
*
Check: Uses all words. "Really" adds emphasis to "loves".
4.
Words: new, my, got, a, father, job
*
Clue: "my" is lowercase, but often starts sentences in these exercises if no other name is there. Wait, "father" is not capitalized. "My" should be capitalized if it's first. Let's assume "My" is the start.
*
Action: My father got a new job.
*
Draft: My father got a new job.
*
Check: Uses all words. Logical.
5.
Words: pizza, enough, is, there, never
*
Clue: "there" is often used with "is". "There is never enough pizza" is a common saying/joke.
*
Action: Start with "There".
*
Draft: There is never enough pizza.
*
Check: Uses all words. Makes sense.
6.
Words: hand, a, I, will, you, tissue
*
Clue: "I" is always capitalized. So it starts with "I".
*
Action: I will hand you a tissue.
*
Draft: I will hand you a tissue.
*
Check: Uses all words. Logical action.
Final Answer:
1. Marty made a phone call.
