Answer:

D. It informs the reader about Pluto's planetary status

Explanation:

There are four main types of writing: descriptive, persuasive, narrative and expository.

The main purpose of expository (sometimes named informative) writing is, as the name might suggest, to explain, define something or inform the readers on a certain topic providing an explanation.

This particular sentence informs us about "Pluto's rise and fall from planethood" which means that it is no longer considered a planet.

In that way, it explains us Pluto's planetary status, which makes this an example of expository writing.

1. Frank delivered packages and mail to the school every day.

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

Simple predicate - "delivered packages and mail"

Simple subject - "Frank", "School".

Explanation:

The sentence “Frank delivered packages and mail to the school every day”. This sentence contains both simple predicate and simple subject. The simple predicate here is ‘delivered packages and mail’. Simple subject here is ‘frank’ and ‘school’. This is because Frank and school is an example of simple noun and it forms the simple subject. The simple predicate here is delivered packages and mail because it does not gives the complete information of the entire scenario.
