Question

Do as directed: Make a meaningful sentence using the phrase
“instead of”

OR

Add a clause to the sentence
“My uncle found a baby”

Hint:

The phrase “instead of” always shows an alternative or substitution.
Adding clauses helps expand simple sentences into meaningful complex ones.
Prefixes like “im-,” “dis-,” “un-” often make words negative. Suffixes like “-ness,” “-ful,” “-tion” often change the form of the word.
When asked to make sentences, ensure they are grammatically correct and show the actual meaning of the word.

Answer 1

For (a), the phrase “instead of” expresses substitution or choice. In the example, the choice of staying home is made in place of going to the party. For (b), expansion requires adding a clause to give more detail. The added clause “who was crying near the temple” provides information about the baby, making the sentence complete and meaningful.
