My brother cut the grass on Saturday.
It is a simple sentence since it contains a subject (<em>My brother</em>) and a verb (<em>cut)</em>. It also has a direct object (<em>the grass</em>) and a prepositional phrase of time (<em>on Saturday</em>). It is important to state that a sentence must have a complete idea and stands on its own. That's why this type of sentence is called independent clause.

Esperanza experiences shame and embarrassment, like the nun that makes her feel ashamed about where she lives when she wants to eat at school. She was also embarrassed about her shoes at the party. When Esperanza has her first job, she is embarrassed because she doesn't know whether to stand up or sit down, and she eats her lunch in the bathroom.
Explanation:
Esperanza's shame is self-imposed. People do not try to make Esperanza feel bad. Even with the nun, Esperanza gets herself out of shame once she gets to the canteen. To succeed, Esperanza must overcome society's obstacles and also her own feelings of shame.

The authors prove Feldman's success by describing the size of his business.
Explanation:
At the end of the excerpt, the authors talk of how Feldman threw off the "shackles of cubicle life". <u>He went from being an employee in a cubicle to being a successful self-employed man. To prove his success, the authors provide us with numbers that show the size of his business: </u>
<u><em>Within a few years, Feldman was delivering 8,400 bagels a week to 140 companies and earning as much as he had ever made as a research analyst.</em></u>
<u>Being able to deliver that amount of bagels to that number of companies can only mean his business is big. He'd need to have several people working under him as well as a quite decently sized infrastructure to do it.</u>
