I think it is B The length of the text
I doubt that it is really wise to rely on the help from the people who are not specialists in it. I had a similar task and I need to confess that I asked the writers from "Marvelous Essay" to help with that. The result was even better than I have expected.
Answer:Chapter 29 A few weeks after Claggart’s death and Billy’s execution, news of the incident appears in a naval chronicle. The report describes the supposed conspiracy led by “one William Budd,” who turned upon his accuser, Claggart, and “vindictively stabbed him in the heart."
Answer:
1. Simple
2. Complex
3. Compound
Explanation:
A simple sentence is one that consists of only one chasuble, which alone can be coherent enough and understandable, like sentence number 1, shown in the question above.
A complex sentence is one that has two clauses that do not have a dependency relationship with each other, that is, the sentences manage to maintain their meanings alone, like sentence number 2, shown in the question above.
A compound phrase is one that has two clauses, but one cannot have meaning alone, while the other does. So this type of sentence has a dependent clause and an independent clause, like sentence number 3.
