Answer:
As much as water is an endangered resource, we cannot live without it.
Explanation:
A compound sentence is a sentence that has two independent clauses, meaning there should be a conjunction to connect the two clauses (FANBOYS) or a semicolon.
A complex sentence has one independent clause and one dependent clause.
Note that independent clauses can stand alone as a sentence, meaning they have both a subject and a predicate.
On the other hand, a dependent clause can not stand alone as a sentence, has both a subject and verb, and will most often start with a subordinating conjunction.
<u>We have the sentence:</u>
Water is an endangered resource and we cannot live without it.
<u>We can make it:</u>
As much as water is an endangered resource, we cannot live without it.
As much as is the subordinating conjunction that makes the first clause dependent.
"We cannot live without it" is the independent clause.
You can remove "As much as" and replace it with any subordinating conjunction that makes sense, it's just hard to find a perfect replacement for the conjunction "and."
Answer:
D. to decide how to manage the government's tax revenue and expenditures.
Explanation:
The answer is: There is no error.
Complex sentences consist of a subordinate or dependent clause, which is introduced by a subordinating conjunction like <em>even though</em>, and an independent clause, which can stand on its own. They can be separated by a comma.
In the example sentence, the subordinate clause is:
Even though I had no previous experience,
Finally, the independent clause is:
I enjoyed painting the living room with my friends.
The rest of the alternatives are incorrect because the clauses are separated or do not express the same meaning as the original sentence.
Answer:
D. A teacher running right into a door and falling on her face
Explanation:
Situational irony is a situation, outcome or an action that happens although that was unexpected from the known facts or premises.
It is completely unexpected for an experienced Olympic diver to make such a beginner's mistake and do the belly flop.
We could say the same for an 80- year old lady to be familiar with modern technologies, let alone use them and be a part of it.
Also, a ridiculously short man winning a high-jump competition is a rather unexpected outcome.
However, a teacher running right into a door and falling is simply a painful accident, because teachers aren't in any way less prone to accidents nor it is expected of them to never accidentally injure themselves.
