Compound-complex sentences are the most complicated sentences, like the name implies. A compound-complex sentence has at least two independent clauses and at least one dependent clause. In simple terms, an independent clause can be a sentence on its own while a dependent clause cannot be a complete sentence.
Compound-complex sentences let us express longer thoughts, with more parts than other sentences let us use. They’re good tools for explaining complicated ideas or describing long chains of events.
This question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:
All of the following are parallel in structure with “crying over the loss of my boyfriend” except __________.
A) I felt so bad yesterday afternoon
B) texting all of my girl friends
C) eating all the ice cream in the freezer
D) listening to my collection of sad music
Answer:
The correct answer is option A) I felt so bad yesterday afternoon.
Explanation:
If you pay attention, all the options, including the example, contain verbs ending in<em> ing.
</em>
Option A does not have the same structure, therefore that is the option that does not fit with the rest.
Words ending in <em>ing </em>can be the following: gerunds, verbal nouns, present participles. In the case of the example we have the ending <em>ing</em> used as a gerund, where the verb is used as if it were a noun.
Given this information we can say that the correct answer is option A.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
Argument
Passage 1 is not precise enough. The second passage shows how long it takes to form a habit and the upshot is that it varies from about 18 days to not being able to form the habit at all.
I don't think D is the answer. It is not inaccurate. The first passage just gets stuck in a rut and doesn't get out.
The first passage looks like it is precise and informed. It really isn't. It just has steps which makes it look precise and informed. Not B
It is clear enough, just not as clear as the second passage. Not A
Which leaves us with C. I would pick it, but don't be surprised if it is one of the other choices. I just think it gets in a rut and stays there.
