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

Realism was a response to a0.
Oliga [24]

Realism is a literary movement that was created in response to romanticism.  Romanticism had at its basis—like the name suggests—a romantic (almost too optimistic) notion of all about which was written.   Realism, on the other hand, was just the opposite in that it portrayed society (reality) as the way it really was almost pessimistically (or at least as it was seen by the author) and can be seen as an equal and opposite reaction to romanticism.
