Identify the types of communication, grammatical errors, and parts of speech exemplified in the provided text.

Question 1: The two obvious types of communication used by the author are: • Informative communication, which aims to educate the reader about body-shaming. • Persuasive communication, which seeks to convince the reader to adopt a particular viewpoint or change their behavior regarding body-shaming. Question 2a: The grammatical error common to all the sentences is subject-verb agreement. Question 2b: i. Two of my siblings live in the Western Cape. ii. The students who live in the hostel have no bicycle. iii. Bongani and Thabo are travelling next week. iv. Lungile drinks two litres of water every morning. v. One of the lecturers has been promoted. Question 3: i. Content words are words that carry the main meaning in a sentence, such as nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs. They provide substantive information. ii. Abstract nouns refer to intangible concepts, ideas, qualities, or states that cannot be perceived by the five senses, such as "freedom" or "happiness." iii. Transitive verbs are verbs that require a direct object to complete their meaning, indicating that the action of the verb is performed upon something or someone. iv. Interrogative pronouns are pronouns used to ask questions, such as "who," "what," "which," and "whose." v. Interjections are words or short phrases that express sudden strong feelings or emotions, often standing alone or set apart from the rest of the sentence. Question 4: i. The church is opened. Function: Subject of the sentence. ii. Mbongeni bought the car. Function: Direct object of the verb "bought." iii. Wandile drove for 60 kilometres. Function: Object of the preposition "for" (the entire phrase "for 60 kilometres" functions as an adverbial phrase of distance). Question 5: i. Across the river • "Across" is a preposition. • "the river" is a noun phrase (determiner "the", noun "river"). This is a prepositional phrase. ii. From June • "From" is a preposition. • "June" is a proper noun. This is a prepositional phrase. Question 6: The expressive function of language is used to convey the speaker's or writer's emotions, feelings, or attitudes. In contrast, the directive function of language is used to influence the behavior or actions of the listener or reader, often through commands, requests, or advice. Send me the next one 📸
