Answer:
D. Dad went into the bedroom, but first he stopped to pet the dog.
Explanation:
A coordinate clause is a clause introduced by one of the coordinating conjunctions (<em>for, and, nor, but, or, yet, </em>or <em>so</em>). Together with the main clause, one or more coordinate clauses make up a compound sentence - a sentence that consists of two or more independent clauses.
In order to solve this question, we need to determine which sentence contains a coordinating conjunction. Based on the list of coordinating conjunctions I've included, we can see that the correct answer is sentence D (<em>but </em>is the coordinating conjunction that introduces the coordinate clause). The rest of the sentences contain subordinating conjunctions (<em>although, if, after</em>), which is why they are incorrect.
This is why option D is the correct one.
Answer: B. It causes the reader to think about how doing nothing should be easy, but in fact can be quite hard.
A paradox is a contradictory statement that nevertheless contains an element of truth. It is a dramatic figure of speech that is often used when describing absurd situations. In this case, the paradox is the fact that Algernon believes doing nothing to be hard, contrary to most people's assumptions. He goes even further by saying that work that is pointless is still preferable to doing nothing.

Because it merges the fairy tale stories of the past with the cynicism, and wit of the current generation
Explanation:
The book 'The Princess Bride' is one of the best fairy tales and an example of the form being relevant even in a time when it is not.
The author has deftly used the trope of the form to his advantage and written a classic fairy tale with a setup of folk and traditional tales.
At the same time, the book is original enough and relevant enough for the current generation and holds up with updated humor and wit of this generation.
