Answer:
Complex sentence.
Explanation:
A complex sentence contains one independent clause and one or more dependant clauses.
An independent clause can stand on its own. The information in it makes sense and does not need extra information to understand its meaning.
A dependant clause can not stand on its own. If we read a dependant clause alone, some information is missing, and we cannot fully understand the meaning of this clause.
In this case, the independent clause is -It abruptly collapsed beneath him- and the dependant clause is - As Jim sat down on the rickety old chair-. We can see that the dependant clause is missing information and that it contains the word as, which is a subordinating conjunction that links the clauses and is present in dependant clauses.
Answer:
You could add a conflict to make the story more interesting. For example, maybe the guy who finds a winning lottery ticket finds it on the ground, but then finds out who it really belongs to, and has to make a choice; whether he should keep it or take it to its rightful owner.
Something like that will really spice up the plot.
<span>The correct answer is b. The sea calmed, but no boats left shore. Option a is incorrect because there are unnecessary commas between the noun and its verb ("sea, calmed" and "boats, left"). Option c is incorrect because when using a semi colon, the phrases on both sides of it should be able to stand alone. While "the sea calmed" can work by itself, "but no boats, left shore" cannot, thus rendering the semi colon incorrect. Additionally, there is an unnecessary comma between the noun "boats" and the verb "left." Finally, option d is incorrect because there should be a comma before the conjunction "but."</span>
