In the case of this sentence we have an example of a <em>Passive Voice Sentence: </em>
<h2>The Hawaiian Islands are also known for their lush, exotic scenery</h2>
In which the <u>verb phrase</u> is are also known. “Also” in this case is just an adverb modifying the verb phrase. This last is compounded by the verb <em>To Be</em> in the present form and the perfective form of the main verb (know).
On the other hand, in this example of the passive, the <u>Subject Phrase</u> is The Hawaiian Islands which are the recipients of the action performed in the Verb Phrase by an unknown/covert agent which is not mentioned in this sentence.
Answer:
It is a complex sentence.
Explanation:
There are four basic types of sentences: simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex.
A complex sentence has one independent clause joined to a dependent clause by a subordinating conjunction.
An independent clause has a subject and a predicate, and can stand alone as a sentence, as it makes complete sense. A dependent clause cannot stand alone.
In this case, "Kenneth sat down on the rickety old chair" is an example of an independent clause. "as it abruptly collapsed beneath him" is a dependent clause.
