Answer:

A. Song-sam wants to find out why his old friend is on the communists’ side.

Explanation:

In Hwang Sun-won's short story "Cranes", he delves into the North-South reconciliation political situation between the two Koreas. This story works on the divided political ideologies and how most enmities are a result of misunderstood perceptions of the people.

The two protagonists Song-sam and Tok-chae were childhood friends but had to make political decisions after the intrusion of the Northern Communist forces. While Song-sam fled the village, Tok-chae had to stay behind as he "wanted to be with [his father] in his last moments so that I could close his eyes with my own hand". Besides, they were poor farmers who depend on the land and can't leave when the harvest was near. And when the North forces retreated and the South was once again reclaimed, Tok-chae was arrested of treason and to be killed. Song-sam volunteered to escort his old friend to Chongdam so that he can find the truth about why he did not flee and managed to survive even when the North was controlling the village.

Champollion and others used Coptic and other languages to help them work out other words, but the Rosetta Stone was the key to hieroglyphic. This picture shows us how Champollion worked out what all the hieroglyphs in the two names were. This made it a lot easier to read other Egyptian words now.

In the novel nothing but the truth what kind of teacher was mr. Lunser

dexar [7]

Answer:

homeroom

Explanation:

In Avi's novel "Nothing But The Truth" we meet Mr. Lunser in Phillip Mallory's school. Mr. Lunser is Phillip's homeroom teacher for a time. He is a easy-going guy who is not very disciplined with his class. He tries to be humorous (he calls his students Bozos) and he is always cracking jokes with the class. During the opening of the novel morning announcements are being made, and Dr. Doane tells the students that on "this day Julius Caesar was assassinated. Mr. Lunser replies, " And right after that they all sat down and ate a Caesar salad." Phillp ends up having to transfer to Margaret Narwin's homeroom and she is extremely disciplined and very strict. This does not work out well for Phillip.

My family left the fair at 8:00, so we missed the fireworks display.

dolphi86 [110]

Hey there!

Answer:

Compound

Explanation:

It contains a main clause (My family left the fair at 8:00) a conjunction(so) and another main clause (we missed the fireworks display).So it's a compound sentence.

-It can't be a simple sentence because it has a subordinate clause.

-It can't be a compound Complex sentence because it only has 1 main clause and not 2.

-It can't be a complex sentence since it doesn't have a subordinate clause.

Definitions:

A simple sentence has 1 main clause.e.g. The boys fought.

A compound sentence has two main clause E.g. Peter went to the mall and he returned late.

A compound conplex has 2 or more main clauses and 1 or more subordinate clause.E.g. Jude travelled and she brought her cousin to live with her.

A complex sentence has a main clause and a subordinate clause.E.g. The boy bumped into the table and he fell onto the floor.

Note:

A main clause is a group of words that can stand on its own whilst a subordinate clause can't as it doesn't represent a complete idea.

Hope this helps!
