I would think its D. because in the story "Letter to the editor" How are mixed-use areas different from what we have now? Let me tell you. Our city currently has a dense downtown area and then a massive amount of sprawl reaching out in every direction—the sprawl takes up seventy-five percent of the city’s land. Urban sprawl, the spreading of large developments of housing and shopping areas around a city’s center, has many negative cultural and environmental effects. Sprawl increases traffic congestion along highways. The residents who live in these faraway suburbs often work downtown, where the majority of businesses are still located. They have to undertake long commutes to and from work every day, which limits their time with family and friends and increases their time alone on the road. These longer commutes also result in increased air pollution that can lead to smog problems for the city.
Answer:
As much as water is an endangered resource, we cannot live without it.
Explanation:
A compound sentence is a sentence that has two independent clauses, meaning there should be a conjunction to connect the two clauses (FANBOYS) or a semicolon.
A complex sentence has one independent clause and one dependent clause.
Note that independent clauses can stand alone as a sentence, meaning they have both a subject and a predicate.
On the other hand, a dependent clause can not stand alone as a sentence, has both a subject and verb, and will most often start with a subordinating conjunction.
<u>We have the sentence:</u>
Water is an endangered resource and we cannot live without it.
<u>We can make it:</u>
As much as water is an endangered resource, we cannot live without it.
As much as is the subordinating conjunction that makes the first clause dependent.
"We cannot live without it" is the independent clause.
You can remove "As much as" and replace it with any subordinating conjunction that makes sense, it's just hard to find a perfect replacement for the conjunction "and."
