Answer:

A simple sentence consists of only one clause. A compound sentence consists of two or more independent clauses. A complex sentence has at least one independent clause plus at least one dependent clause. A set of words with no independent clause may be an incomplete sentence, also called a sentence fragment.

Examples of a compound complex sentence:

Kate doesn't like cartoons because they are loud, so she doesn't watch them.
The dog started barking so the cat ran away and I couldn't keep up, so I stopped.
She likes to sleep in but she can get up early if she has work.

Answer:

compound sentence

A compound sentence is a sentence that has at least two independent clauses joined by a comma, semicolon or conjunction. An independent clause is a clause that has a subject and verb and forms a complete thought. An example of a compound sentence is, 'This house is too expensive, and that house is too small.

simple sentence

complex sentence

A Complex Sentence. A complex sentence has an independent clause and at least one dependent clause. For example: The human brain never stops working until you stand up to speak in public.

compound-complex sentences

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

After the wrestling match, Johnny saw his father sobbing over his childhood pictures. The father was reminiscing about how his own father had raised them in such a relationship, the very same way he's doing now. This seems to be suggestive of his remorse and regret in how he had acted all along.

So, this act seems to signal a change in him while also most probably, a change in the father-son relationship. Thus, we can say that they will reconcile.

Explanation:

Chris Crutcher's short story "The Pin" revolves around the father-son relationship. The two major characters Johnny Rivers and his father Cecil B. Rivers' relationship is infused with jealousy, perfection, and a strained family relationship which culminated in their wrestling duel which seemed to finally mend their broken connection.

Amidst their strained father-son relationship, the duo got the chance to 'figure things out' between them when there's a student-parents' game in school. This power struggle's wrestling match was an intense one but which eventually ended with Johnny winning the game. Despite the offer of his hand to his father, he was rejected twice. But towards the end of the story, when they got home, we see the father sobbing over his child-rearing methods, reminiscing that he's doing exactly how his own father had done to him. 

This outburst seems to suggest a change in the father. So, we can assume that the father-son duo will reconcile despite their previous differences and start a new, loving relationship.

Excerpt from Sacramento Valley Agriculture

Alenkasestr [34]

A) The Wright Act enabled twenty-two areas of land to be designated irrigation districts

This clause presents the information in a much more active and direct way. The Wright Act is highlighted and the clause contains an active verb by saying "enabled", rather than the original clause which was in passive voice.
