Answer:
Being smart is linked to having the key to success. If you were smart growing up, it was almost a given that you were going to be successful. But what about the kid who lost his father when he was twelve, lived in fifteen different places growing up, had to start working at the age of thirteen to support his mother and two brothers, and still had to find a way to have a cool image in school? His GPA almost certainly took a hit due to some of those uncertain circumstances, and that perhaps caused him to not earn the label of smart. What do we do with that kid in our society? Do we throw in the towel for him and say that he has no shot in life because of his circumstances, or do we label him as a wise kid?

The correct answer is My brother loves to cook, but he especially loves to barbecue.
Explanation:
The sentence "My brother loves to cook, he especially loves to barbecue" is a run-on sentence because each of the sections in the sentence is a complete sentence, and complete/independent sentences cannot be connected using a comma. Instead, a semicolon should be used (;) or a conjunction such as and, but, or can be added after the comma. This second method of correction occurs in the sentence "My brother loves to cook, but he especially loves to barbecue".
In ancient Greece, Ptolemy asserted that the earth was at the center of the universe. The sun, moon, planets, and stars all revolved around it.
This is another compound complex sentence due to the complexity it has. It contains one dependent clause and two independent clauses.
So the answer is letter D compound complex.
