It’s an informative sentence
Answer:
As much as water is an endangered resource, we cannot live without it.
Explanation:
A compound sentence is a sentence that has two independent clauses, meaning there should be a conjunction to connect the two clauses (FANBOYS) or a semicolon.
A complex sentence has one independent clause and one dependent clause.
Note that independent clauses can stand alone as a sentence, meaning they have both a subject and a predicate.
On the other hand, a dependent clause can not stand alone as a sentence, has both a subject and verb, and will most often start with a subordinating conjunction.
<u>We have the sentence:</u>
Water is an endangered resource and we cannot live without it.
<u>We can make it:</u>
As much as water is an endangered resource, we cannot live without it.
As much as is the subordinating conjunction that makes the first clause dependent.
"We cannot live without it" is the independent clause.
You can remove "As much as" and replace it with any subordinating conjunction that makes sense, it's just hard to find a perfect replacement for the conjunction "and."
Answer:
The best way to revise the sentence is the one expressed in letter D. a concern of the townspeople.
Explanation:
First, let's ask this question to the sentence: <u>What was the concern of the townspeople? That there would be an excess of traffic noise. This information is given immediately before we learn that the townspeople were concerned about it. Thus, we can transform the last clause, "this was a concern of the townspeople," into an appositive. By doing so, we connect the last clause to the rest of the sentence in a simpler yet effective manner. It's as if we are simply adding an extra information to what we already know</u>:
By routing the new highway around the town instead of through the middle of it, the governor prevented an excess of traffic noise, a concern of the townspeople.
Answer:
C. Ethical Appeal.
Explanation:
Ethical Appeal is a type of persuasion that reveals about the credibility of the author. It is also known as ethos. In this type of persuasion, the audience is persuaded based on the speaker's credibility or how much the speaker is credible and worth listening to. The author's credibility is known based on his unbiasedness and fairness.
The given passage is taken from the speech named <u>"The Strenuous Life" delivered by Theodore Roosevelt on 10th April 1899</u>. The speech was delivered to encourage his audience to overcome hardships and strenuous life should be the lifestyle of Americans, that they should not live a life of idleness. He shares the experience of his life, of how he also overcame hardship and became the 26th President of the United States. So, his audience was persuaded based on Roosevelt's credibility. Thus, the correct answer is option C, ethical appeal.
