General Israel Putnam told his men "Dont fire until you see the whites of there eyes because some of them were too eagar to shoot and he wanted them to shoot at close range so they could hit the enemy. This also saved ammunition and helped them fight better.

Because he was running low on ammunition and didn't want shots being wasted if the soldiers don't hit the enemy. So to ensure they hit the enemy they didn't fire until they were positive they would hit.

What impact does point of view have on The Odyssey? Explain how the story would be different if told from Penelope’s point of vi
anzhelika [568]

In this story, as it is told from the point of view of Odysseus, we get to experience the most adventurous and exciting side of it: we get to follow his battles against all kinds of creatures, Gods, and innumerable threats that the sea brings upon him.

If the tale was told fromthe point of view of Penelope (his wife), everything would change. The narration would be based around her longing for Odysseus' return<u>, </u>the struggles with her son, and a general emphasis on what was left behind making her suffer.


Hope this helps!

Answer:

Complex sentence

Explanation:

The options you were given are the following:

  • Complex sentence
  • Compound sentence
  • Simple sentence
  • Compound complex sentence

The given sentence is an example of a complex sentence.

A complex sentence is a sentence that consists of one independent clause and one or more dependent (subordinate) clauses.

An independent clause is a clause that can stand alone as a sentence. Every sentence must contain a subject and predicate and express a complete thought. Independent clauses fulfill these criteria while subordinate clauses don't. This is why they can't stand alone as a sentence. Their purpose is to provide additional information about what is stated in the independent clause.

The given sentence consists of two clauses:

  • <em>After violating the traffic signal, </em>- subordinate clause
  • <em>He hit a car coming from the other side.</em> - independent clause

This is why the first option is the correct one.
