<u>Explanation:</u>
<em>Remember</em>, according to sociologist, basically, there are <u>four </u>types of socioeconomic class distinctions, they are:
- upper-class
- middle-class.
- lower-class (or working-class) and
- poor
Alexandra Penney falls within the middle-class because her background information constitutes the life of a middle-class citizen. For example, one obvious pointer to this is found when we are told she has <em>"40 white shirts." </em><em>Meaning? </em>she has more than enough clothing. The fact she presently complains over her condition signifies she is in the struggling middle-class bracket.

From Caramelo, by Sandra Cisneros
"A bungalow, a duplex, a brownstone, an apartment. Something, anything, because the Grandmother’s gloominess was the contagious kind, infecting every member of the household as fiercely as the bubonic plague".
The figurative language in lines 5 through 7 establishes a tone of
1) loneliness
2)confusion
3)desperation
4)shame
Answer: 3)desperation
Explanation:
The description of the grandmother´s bad mood like something contagious as a plague shows the desperation the character feels in that situation.

Answer:
compound-complex
Explanation:
A compound-compex sentence is one that comprises more than one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. As you may already know, the dependent clauses are those that cannot send a message on their own, as they need a complement to make sense. The independent clauses, however, are the clauses that manage to send messages on their own.
In the question aciam we have an example of compound-compex sentence. That's because "Belle is a competitive horseback rider" is an independent clause, "she will be competing in the next World Equestrian Games" is more of an independent clause, while "which are held every four years" is a dependent clause.
