The given line above is actually made by Francis Pharcellus Church which is taken from "<span>Yes, Virginia, There is a Santa Claus". And based on this line, I can say that the emotion that the author appeals here is awe and wonder in the unknown. The best answer to this would be option B. Hope this helps.</span>
<span>The
political unrest and economic instability of the 1920s and the 1970s
provided an opportunity for extreme political parties to blame
more-moderate political parties or the ruling government for either not
doing enough to solve the country’s issues or for causing the problems
in the first place. In both 1920s Germany and 1970s Cambodia, these
circumstances allowed these authoritarian groups, the Nazis and the
Khmer Rouge, to climb to power.</span>
Answer:
The sentence that is complex is:
C. After Danny and Erica rode their bikes throughout the countryside, they went back to Erica's house and had some cool lemonade.
Explanation:
A complex sentence is formed by joining an independent clause to a dependent or subordinate one. An independent clause is able to stand alone as a sentence because it can convey a complete thought on its own. A dependent clause on the other hand, cannot do that. Alone, it sounds incomplete.
<u>The sentence "After Danny and Erica rode their bikes throughout the countryside, they went back to Erica's house and had some cool lemonade" is an example of a complex sentence. The independent clause is:</u>
<u>- they went back to Erica's house and had some cool lemonade</u>
<u>The dependent clause is the one beginning with a subordinating conjunction (after), and which cannot stand alone as a sentence:</u>
<u>- After Danny and Erica rode their bikes throughout the countryside</u>
I think it’s C because it makes the most sentence according to the first sentence.
