The answer is B, this is a 'compound sentence', because it contains two independent clauses: 1. Shannon read Stuart Little + and + 2. (Shannon) reported on it.
The sentence is missing two words, "will" and "a."
the corrected version would be:
In today’s blog post, I //will// teach you how to make //a// watermelon salad with feta and mint! With less than five ingredients, it’s a feast for the eyes and the palette.
Francisco is ready to recite his memorized portion of the Declaration of Independence and Border Patrol show up to take him away. Seriously—they just show up at his classroom and that's it, <span>Francisco knows what's going to happen (he's heading back to Mexico), and he's not fighting it. Francisco is about to read one of the most important documents in American history (one that talks about freedom, rights, liberties etc.), and he is just taken away without a say in it; this contrasts the 'rights' that illegal immigrants compared to U.S. citizens, because they aren't always treated humanely.</span>
I'd say B and D. Elementary school reports don't necessarily equate to knowledge of a subject (and research on the branches of government doesn't help you know <em>how</em> to govern), so A is out. C is nice, but popularity and charm do not a leader make, he might have ulterior motives to being as such, maybe taking advantage of the power? B and D show things he has done that would give him useful skills in the position.
