Answer:

The answer is: D. I rang the doorbell, but no one came to the door. I was sure this was the right address. While I waited, I saw a curtain move.

Explanation:

It is generally much better to have short sentences than a long involved sentence. The long sentence in the example is pretty easy to understand, but selection "D" makes the meaning clearer and easier to understand. Separate sentences cuts down on trying to figure out multiple meanings.

Plsss heeellp . What was ur favorite part of the book the treasure island ? And explain
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

My favorite part of the book " The Treasure Island" was when Captain Billy Bones died and left his chest to <u>Jim Hawkins</u> and his mother. At the moment of his death Jim wastes no time, he checks the chest and finds on a piece of paper a map that could lead him to an island where Flint's treasure awaited him. At that moment a band of pirates enters the inn looking for Captain Billy and his chest, Jim and his mother manage to get out of there alive, but the inn is destroyed by the pirates.

It's my favorite part because the adventure starts from that point, Jim thinks he can help his mother (who lost her inn) if he finds the treasure.

Explanation:

The Treasure Island is an adventure novel, written by Scottish Robert Louis, the book tells the adventure of a young man named Jim Hawkins who after obtaining the treasure map from the pirate Flint, embarks on an adventure with his friend Dr. David and a ship's crew to find that treasure.

The story at the end has a moral reflection on ambition.
