For questions 7–9, choose the correct sentence pattern.

Below are the responses for the previously mentioned questions 7-9. The established sentence patterns are as follows: 7. It is a hybrid car. = S-V-N (Subject-verb-Noun) 8. Traditional gas-powered cars are harmful to the environment. = S-V-A (Subject-verb-Adjective) 9. Hybrids produce less pollution than conventional cars. = S-V-O (Subject-verb-Object)

1. The suitable answer is S-V-N. S signifies the subject, and in the sentence, you will notice the subject IT appears first, followed by V, denoting the verb, which is IS. The verb precedes a noun phrase HYBRID CAR, acting as a predicate nominative after a linking verb. Predicate nominatives are labeled as N. 2. The appropriate choice is S-V-A. The structure mirrors that of the initial sentence. We start with the subject (S) TRADITIONAL GAS-POWERED CARS, followed by the verb (V) ARE, and then the adjective phrase HARMFUL TO THE ENVIRONMENT, which is categorized as a predicate adjective (an adjective or adjectival phrase following a linking verb), denoted as A. 3. The correct response is S-V-O. This reflects the most prevalent arrangement in English sentence structures. Initially, we see the subject HYBRIDS, followed by the verb PRODUCE, and then the direct object LESS POLLUTION, along with an additional phrase that need not be specified. The object is identified by asking the question What? (What do hybrids produce? - Less pollution), marked as O. IO stands for indirect object, which is not present here.
