Answer:

The women bought a purse <u>while</u> her husband <u>decided</u> to buy new gold clubs.

Explanation:

A complex sentence is a sentence containing a subordinate clause or clauses.

To create a complex sentence we can add words such as, once, while, when, whenever, where, wherever, before, and after.

A subordinate clause is a clause that cannot stand alone as a complete sentence; it merely complements a sentence's main clause, thereby adding to the whole unit of meaning. ... It has a subject and a verb, and on its own, it presents a complete unit of meaning: all of us are able to go out and have ice cream. -Grammarly.com

A complex sentence has one independent clause and one dependent clause. An independent clause can essentially become its own sentence, yet a dependent clause can not.

<u>Since the woman bought a purse</u>, <em>her husband chose to himself by buying new gold clubs.</em>

The clause that is both underlined and bolded is the dependent clause. This is because "since the woman bought a purse" can not be a sentence on its own. It simply wouldn't make sense without the context of the independent clause (the italicized part of the sentence)

Keep in mind that there are a variety of alternatives to making a sentence complex. If you would like those alternatives let me know in the comments.

Hope this helped!

Which lines in this excerpt of Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol reflect the theme of compassion versus material gain?
Tpy6a [65]

Remark

I'm going to give you the two that I think it could be. Here's the first of the two.

One

"Business!" cried the Ghost, wringing its hands again. "Mankind was my business. The common welfare was my business; charity, mercy, forbearance, and benevolence, were, all, my business. The dealings of my trade were but a drop of water in the comprehensive ocean of my business!"

Two

"At this time of the rolling year," the spectre said, "I suffer most. Why did I walk through crowds of fellow-beings with my eyes turned down, and never raise them to that blessed Star which led the Wise Men to a poor abode! Were there no poor homes to which its light would have conducted me!"

Discussion

The last one really has nothing to do with either compassion nor business. It is just as it appears. A thank you. But Scrooge is about to learn what friendship really means. The Ghosts are great educators -- all four of them.

The second last one is just Marley has to suffer through. I for one always feel very sorry for him, because he learned to late what he needed to know. But that does not answer your question.

The next one up has to do with Scrooge feeling the heat. It is just a description. The main ideas are in one and two above.

That is not relevant to business or compassion either. It is elaborating on a circumstance and does not answer your question.

The line beginning with hear me. My time is nearly gone. This too has nothing to do with your question although you may feel very sorry for Marley as I do.

Scrooge was very much dismayed ... this is just a reaction of Scrooge's. He certainly is uncomfortable. And that's about all you can say.

It held it's chain at arms length ... again a description and  a heart breaking one. I would hate to meet such a character, but it describes a result and not a what business really does to mankind.

Though the idea of business is in the first one, it does not reach into compassion and Scrooge at this point does not know what  he is in for. He's uneasy, but the ghosts have not yet dealt with him yet.

Which is it, one or two?

We have all at some point walked passed someone who is homeless or mentally ill or both and not been cheered by what we see. We've all looked at old people and how withered and unglamorous they look. At some point in our lives, we have looked at movie stars or models or well kept people and thought "That's for me." That's what two sounds like to me. It's true and it's fitting, but it's not the right answer.

The right answer is One

Marley is absolutely outraged that Scrooge could be so stupid and not see the obvious. Business is not mankind's business. Kindness and generosity and humane treatment is mankind's business.

At approximately which time of day is the sun at the highest point in the sky to an observer in new york state
Ksivusya [100]
12:00 pm yet more often than not it relies on upon how you are measuring time. Time zones are a little more than 1000 miles wide at the equator. So when it turns 12 twelve at the equator, the sun unmistakably can't be at its most elevated height for each spot along an extend of 1000 miles at a similar moment. In any case, by definition, the sun is at its most noteworthy every day at sunlight based twelve.

Advantages and disadvantages of legalising baby bins or baby hatches?
vesna_86 [32]
Baby bin refers to a safe place where a woman can drop her baby which she want to abandon. Baby bin was invented in  order to reduce the habit of dropping babies in the dumpster, because in most cases the babies will be dead before they are discovered.
One advantage of legalizing baby bin is that it will rescue a lot of babies whose lives would have been lost otherwise. And no one can tell what those babies can become tomorrow or how much they will contribute to their country and the world at large. Imagine what the US would have lost, if Obama or Thomas Edison has died on the dumpster as a baby.
The disadvantage is that, legalizing baby bin may encourage more women to abandon their babies, especially disable children.
Another dis merit is that legalizing baby bin violate the right of a child to know his or her parents. It also downgrades and neglects the responsibility of the parents to take care of their children.
