The answer to this will be despairing
The answer is A. Mercedes threw Andrea, Mercedes' best friend, a surprise party last night. This choice uses an appositive ("Andrea, Mercedes' best friend,") to combine the two sentences. An appositive is a phrase separated from the rest of the sentence by commas that describes something (in this case Andrea).
Choices B and C are incorrect because the uses of the words "but" and "when" to combine the sentences do not make logical sense. Choice D is incorrect because it uses a comma to combine the sentences without a conjunction, creating a run-on sentence.
Hope this helps!
Explanation:
those poor Esgaroth people. Assuming Erebor is mainly composed of Volcanic igneous rock, I'm guessing that Smaug's fire is cooler than 1200 degC, since he didn't melt the tunnel the Dwarves were hiding in. Most minerals that comprise igneous rock begin to become molten before temperatures reach ~1200 degC.
Naturalism added scientific elements such as environment and heredity to fictional characters. Unlike realism, naturalism used characters who were of the lower classes. It was also known for themes including taboo and violence. Émile Zola was the best-known writer of the literary school of naturalism.
