Delprøve 1 – HHX Engelsk A – 3. december 2015

Her er Studienets hjælp til Delprøve 1 fra skriftlig eksamen i Engelsk A på HHX fra 3. december 2015. Her gennemgår vi alle de fire underopgaver med råd og vejledning, så du bliver i stand til at forstå og selv løse opgaverne.

Til hver underopgaver forklarer vi den grammatiske problemstilling og viser dig, hvordan du griber opgaven an. Langs ad vejen lægger vi links videre til vores Engelsk Grammatik og hjælp til fejlsætninger, så du kan lære mere.

Denne webbog er primært en vejledning, som skal sætte dig igang på egen hånd - til fejlsætningerne i Opgave 3 har vi også givet et komplet bud på, hvordan du kan besvare opgaven. Dette kan du bruge som tjekliste til at gå dine egne svar igennem.

I dette sæt skal du løse følgende opgaver:

Opgave 1 - Adjektiver og adverbialled

2. His heart is rigidly cold against her and he himself does not really understand how it got to be this way.
3. Lately, this has become hard for her.
4. He bends down to give her a kiss on the cheek and a hug that she expects from him but which he gives dutifully and not with a joyful heart.

Skriv, hvad det understregede relative pronomen (henførende stedord) henviser til, og forklar, hvorfor netop dette pronomen er anvendt i sætningen. Brug relevant grammatisk/faglig terminologi.

1. The first-ever federal limit on the amount of carbon that power plants can pump into the atmosphere had not even been formally announced on Monday before the political fight began.

3. A few weeks ago, President Barack Obama blasted critics of his Clean Power Plan, saying, “Even more cynical, we’ve got critics of this plan who are actually claiming that this will harm minority and low-income communities—even though climate change hurts those Americans the most, who are the most vulnerable.”
4. If it survives legal and legislative challenges, the Clean Power Plan could remake the way Americans generate and consume electricity, accelerating a shift away from coal-fired power plants – the chief source of the greenhouse gas emissions that scientists blame for global warming.
