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

What inspired Harlem Renaissance artists?
kirill [66]
The Harlem Renaissance was a movement of African- American art music, literature and theatre. What inspired Harlem Renaissance artists was them wanting to take control of the narrative, representation and view of black people because black people were always painted in a negative light by white people. The artists asserted pride, joy, positivity in the black community and changed how people viewed black people. They fought against the inequality and discrimination they faced everyday.
