Answer:

"Everyone went to the dance, but me," is not a compound sentence.

Explanation:

A compound sentence is--similarly to the sentence in the question--something a comma is present within. The similarities basically end there. A compound sentence is the joining of two separate thoughts with--in general--the first being a complete sentence with a subject, and the second being an incomplete sentence, but having a different subject.

"I just lost my dog, but my cat seems to be happy about it." is a compound sentence.

In the above sentence, the first clause is a complete thought that could be on its own,

"I just lost my dog."

but the second sentence is incomplete without the first even with a subject and verb.

"But my cat seems to be happy about it."

That's the best explanation I can give on compound sentences.

In your case with the sentence, "Everyone went to the dance, but me," there may be a subject, verb, and complete sentence in...

"Everyone went to the dance."

but even with, "But me." being incomplete, the fact there is no subject nor verb removes the possibility of it being a compound sentence.

Differences and similarities between ancient greek theater and an English theater

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

There are many differences. Greek theater had a chorus, which sang and likely danced. The arrangement of the stage was completely different, featuring a single building with a large entrance on to the stage, a crane to bring divine characters in on a higher level, a dancing area for the chorus, and so on. Actors were all male and performed in masks; there were few actors available for the playwright's use (two or later three could be on stage at a time). Plays were put on at civic/religious festivals, not as standalone productions, and cycles of four plays (three tragedies and a comic satyr play) by the same author were performed. The list could go on for a while
