<em>Daisy bought two presents for the baby</em> is a simple sentence.
Explanation:
A simple sentence is a sentence consisting of only one independent clause. An independent clause is a clause that can stand on its own, as it contains one predicate and subject and has complete meaning. The sentence <em>Daisy bought two presents for the baby</em> has one subject (<em>Daisy</em>) and one predicate (<em>bought</em>), and has no subordinate clauses. That's why it's a simple sentence.
Compound sentences are sentences consisting of two or more independent clauses that contain related ideas. These independent clauses are connected by semicolons or coordinating conjunctions (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so).
Complex sentences are sentences consisting of an independent clause and subordinate (dependent) clauses, which don't have a complete meaning and because of that can't stand on their own.
Compound-complex sentences consist of at least two independent clauses and at least one dependent clause.

Answer:
The rhetorical technique used in this excerpt is a. shift.
Explanation:
Shift as a rhetorical technique refers to a change in the mood, style, or tone of what is being said. It is usually started with a conjunction that expresses such alteration and contrast, such as "yet", "but", "although", etc. In this particular speech, the initial mood is one of sadness and exhaustion. Churchill focuses on the disasters, the dangers, and the losses the war brought. From the moment he says "yet" on, however, the mood shifts to a positive, assertive one, in which he tells us about the high morale of the Allies. Against all odds, in contrast with everything that had been said, we are now told the Allies kept their spirits up.
The correct answer is A. The boy's epiphany in "Araby" reveals the futility of human pursuits.
At the end of the story, the boy has several disappointments. His uncle is late, the bazaar is nearly closed by the time he gets there, and the only objects he finds are boring. All of his expectations have failed to live up to reality. The boy realizes that his relationship with Mangan's sister will end up the same -- better in his imagination than in reality.
In this way, the story says that life itself is disappointing and fails to live up to our imaginations. Answer A, that human pursuits are futile (or pointless), best encompasses the boy's epiphany.
