In this particular excerpt, Montresor is walking with Fortunato and says a couple of things that indicate his deceptive nature for the evening.  First, he says he that he celebrates those who are dead when Fortunato says he celebrates his life in the line: “I drink […] to the buried…”  Then, at the end of the excerpt, he hints that the reason they are in the cellar is for Montresor to take revenge by answering Fortunato’s question about what his family’s motto is by stating it’s “Nemo me impune lacessit,” which is Latin for “No one attacks me with impunity.”  Thus, Montresor hints at his real reasons while feigning friendship.

Which type of compound does the sentence contain?
MariettaO [177]

The correct answer is A. Compound object

Explanation:

In grammar, the object refers to the entity that is being affected by the subject (agent of the action) and the main action or verb. This means the object is the entity being acted upon and usually placed after the main action or verb. Additionally, a sentence with a compound object is one that contains two or more objects usually linked by coordinating conjunctions such as "like", "and", "or" and "neither".

In the case of the sentence "Mrs. Khan likes baseball and softball" the subject or agent that performs the action is "Mrs. Khan" the main action is "likes" and the object or entity being acted upon is "baseball and softball" which is composed by two objects or ideas separated by the coordinating conjunction "and". Considering the object of this sentence is composed of two ideas it can be concluded the object "baseball and softball" is compound. Therefore, the type of compound the sentence "Mrs. Khan likes baseball and softball" contains is a compound object.
