Which strategies best support critical reading of nonfiction texts? Check all that apply. Read the text quickly and scan for main ideas.
Compare and contrast the text with your own experiences.
Replace words you do not know with words that fit the context.
Ask yourself questions to determine what the text says and how it says it.
Evaluate the ideas in the text by analyzing reasoning and evidence.

often a noun phrase is just a noun or a pronoun:

people like to have money.

i am tired.

it is getting late.

answer: the prince warns the 2 families that if they get into another fight they will be put to death

the answer is:

when will (v) the books (n) be (v) due?

nouns refer to people (other than pronouns), places and things, whereas verbs describe actions and are usually part of the predicate of a sentence. finally, pronouns can work as nouns and identify the participants in speech.

in the example sentence, "will" is a verb part or auxiliary verb, "be" is an infinitive verb and "books" is a plural noun.
