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

Write a story that ends with the statement ..I had never felt so embarrassed in my life
MariettaO [177]

Here's something that could work:

This morning at school, my life was completely ruined.

Everything was fine up until art class. My crush, Felix, was painting a beautiful portrait, as always. Mrs. Sharp, the teacher, was playing Solitaire on her ancient computer. I sat down in my seat, (right behind Felix) dug out my portfolio out of my beat-up backpack, and started working on one of my drawings. I was just about to give up and move on to a new one, when I heard squealing and giggling coming from the back of the class. <em>Just what I needed, </em>I thought,<em> more distractions keeping me from actually creating a decent piece. </em>I tried to ignore the girls, but the longer I waited, the more they giggled. Eventually, I couldn't take it any longer. I jumped out of my seat and chucked my sketchbook in their direction.

"WHAT IS SO FUNNY? WHAT COULD POSSIBLY BE SO AMUSING THAT YOU HAVE TO DISRUPT THE ENTIRE CLASS JUST TO GIGGLE ABOUT IT?"

The class was silent. I stood there, frozen in shock at what I had just done. The girls stared, their jaws to the floor, as I felt my face heat up. Slowly, I turned around and sat down, only to find Felix's gorgeous blue eyes glittering in amusement. <em>Great, </em>I thought, <em>now the most popular guy at school thinks I'm a loser. </em>I put my head down on my desk and tried not to cry. I had never felt so embarrassed in my life.
