Explanation:
In English language, a simple sentence can be defined as a sentence that comprises of a single independent clause, a predicate or verb and a subject. Also, the subject in a simple sentence is joined together by a conjunction such as "and" to reflect the action that is being performed or done by the verb in the sentence.
<em>An example of a simple sentence is;</em>
- The man in the blue pin-striped suit and checked tie looked somewhat out of place at the party.
In the above example, the subject is "man" while "blue pin-striped suit and checked tie" is a modifier and they are all performing the same action.

Answer:
Explanation:
More than 99 percent of all organisms that have ever lived on Earth are extinct. As new species evolve to fit ever changing ecological niches, older species fade away. But the rate of extinction is far from constant. At least a handful of times in the last 500 million years, 75 to more than 90 percent of all species on Earth have disappeared in a geological blink of an eye in catastrophes we call mass extinctions.
Though mass extinctions are deadly events, they open up the planet for new forms of life to emerge. The most studied mass extinction, which marked the boundary between the Cretaceous and Paleogene periods about 66 million years ago, killed off the nonavian dinosaurs and made room for mammals and birds to rapidly diversify and evolve.
