Answer:

The sentence above could be rewritten as follows: Dennis washed his  hands. They were muddy.

Explanation:

A complex sentence has one independent clause and at least one dependent clause. An independent clause, unlike a dependent one, can stand alone as a sentence because it represents a complete thought (a). A fails to stand alone as a sentence because it does not represent a complete idea.

When you separate the clauses in two different simple sentences, both of them become independent (b, c) and can therefore stand alone as a sentence.

a) *Because they were muddy

b) Dennis washed his hands

c) They were muddy

Your new DVD player is not working. The power turns on, but the television screen remains blank. Which reference should you use?
MissTica
I believe you should use user guide because maybe such problems are listed in the guide for your DVD player. Since you probably aren't going to repair the machine on your own, there is no need for looking for the solution in the repair manual.

What should a speaker use to justify an opinion?
Fed [463]

Answer:

Examples.

Explanation:

Examples are always good to support an opinion. They provide proof that some parts of your opinion may be factual, and may sway others to your point of view with their logic. Circular logic doesn’t prove anything, as you are just going over the same thing multiple times. Slippery fallacies aren’t reliable, and will not convince an audience you are correct or that they should believe you. Attacking the other argument may help, but all you may be proving is that the other opinion is wrong. In some cases where there are many more than two opinions, people will make their own, as you have not given proof of your opinion, only that the other is wrong. Additionally, attacking the other argument may not always be successful.
