Watermelons and pineapples seem quite different when you first think about them and some factors do, but they are similar in many different ways. First, they are both fruits and they both contain juice which makes them the perfect thing to put in smoothies or on top of desserts. Secondly, they both have an ‘outer shell’ of sorts that helps protect the inside. Both have bright colors on the inside and darker colors on the outside. Additionally, both are refreshing and could help people cool down in the heat.
Many things make the two fruits different too. A watermelon covering is smooth and bright shades of green and the inside is a dark pale shade of pink, while a pineapple’s covering is a brown color, and it is rough and pointed in places and has a bright yellow interior. Watermelon is also heavier than a pineapple is, and it is cut in a separate way than a pineapple would be cut. While watermelons naturally have seeds in them, pineapples do not have seeds unless they are grown next to each other. Pineapple contains more Vitamin C than watermelons, but watermelon contains more Vitamin A. Watermelons are also messier because they contain more juice.
I hope this helps you.

I did not look up anything other than the Vitamin A and C facts, so I aplogize if it needs to be more detailed.
The complete predicate in this sentence is A. mopped his brow, exhaled sharply, and picked up his phone.
B and C aren't correct, because they aren't complete predicates - something is missing.
D isn't correct, because <em>looking up from his computer monitor </em>is not a predicate, it is an adverb phrase.

Dictators ruled until 1930, when the nation became democratic.
Trujillo’s dictatorship resulted in the massacre of thousands of Haitians.
Explanation:
One of the two islands that is shared by two independent nations is the Dominican Republic. It has historically ranked as the third most populous and second-largest country in the Antilles.
