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.
<em>Additionally, all the other examples given are not a complete sentence or is a complex sentence. </em>
The correct answer is option letter B (logos). Taken from <em>the United States Declaration of Independence</em> (1776) written by Thomas Jefferson, the excerpt presented above is an example of <u>the use of logos</u>, a literary device that can be an argument or a statement used to convince or persuade the targeted audience. These lines are part of <u>the second part</u> of the Declaration of Independence and here the author explains to the audience <u>why the colonies wanted to separate</u> and <u>all the transgressions the British government made against the colonists</u>.
