Answer: complex
Explanation: this sentence is complex because it contains both a dependent and an independent clause.
The figurative language here ( ‘A tree my baby brothers could lean on’ and ‘the raft that helps carry them over this life’s rough rivers’) Tells me that the writer of this poem is needed to be a ‘breadwinner’ for the family. This can be enforced by the fact that the poem states the family only consists of ‘Mom and us kids’, The author is now tasked with duties such as caring for his baby brothers once his mother is no longer able to. Families without 2 parental figures is normally very straining to the kids and the single parent, only the strongest can withstand the onslaught of caring for kids. Thus letting me know that the meaning of this poem is that family needs to be there for each other because no one else would.
This question is missing the excerpt with the underlined sentences. I was able to find it online:
Read the excerpt from "Enrique's Journey":
The train <u>passes into northern Chiapas.</u> Enrique sees men with h.o.es tending their corn and women inside their kitchens patting tortillas into shape. Cowboys ride past and smile. Fieldworkers have their machetes and cheer the migrants on: "Qué bueno!" <u>Mountains draw closer. Plantain fields soften into cow pastures</u>. Enrique's train slows to a crawl. Monarch<u> butterflies flutter alongside, overtaking his car.</u>
NOTE: I typed h.o.es like this so that Brainly will not interpret it as a bad word.
Answer:
The underlined phrases support the author's purpose because:
C. They show that the worst part of the train ride may be over.
Explanation:
American journalist Sonia Nazario (born 1960) won the Pulitzer Prize for "Enrique's Journey", which tells the story of the 17-year-old boy from Honduras and his journey to be reunited with his mother.
<u>In the particular passage we are analyzing here, the author is describing a transition. The landscape changes once Enrique reaches Chiapas, a region in Mexico. The boy can now see several people, their homes, cow pastures, and mountains. His train also slows down. The author gives such details to show that the worst part of the train ride may be over. This is a sign that Enrique has already conquered a great deal of his journey.</u>

Explanation:
Answer:
The fire that dragons spew is the result of the chemical reaction between limestone and fluorine.
Explanation:
There is a theory that explains that the fire expelled by dragons is the result of the chemical reaction between limestone and fluorine. This theory states that dragons eat limestone that is stored in their bodies, which already have fluorine naturally. When the dragon feels threatened, or feels that it is in a moment of attacking, it shares these two elements at the same time, which when uniting react to produce fire.
