Answer:
Reverend Hale is a supposed expert in witchcraft. Reverend Parris requested that Reverend Hale come to Salem to investigate suspected witchcraft that may have affected his daughter Betty Parris.
The tale of The Hound of the Baskervilles by Arthur Conan Doyle begins with a visitor, Dr. Mortimer, approaching Holmes to solve one murder and potentially prevent a second.
Dr. Mortimer's visit is occasioned by two things, the mysterious death of Sir Charles Baskerville and the impending arrival of his heir, Sir Henry. Although the doctor is not by nature superstitious, he does consider it important to apprise Holmes of the legend surrounding the "hound of the Baskervilles", a legend that begins with Hugo Baskerville. The story of the legend is told in the 1742 manuscript.
Hugo Baskerville had abducted a peasant girl. She escaped from the room in which he had imprisoned her and fled. He followed on horseback using hounds to hunt her down. His companions followed him, and saw his horse standing riderless and a great black hound tearing out his throat. Since then, several members of the family have died mysterious deaths. The document warns the Baskervilles avoid the moors at night.
The legend is made relevant by Dr. Mortimer's description of the scene of Sir Charles' death:
Dr. Mortimer looked strangely at us for an instant, and his voice sank almost to a whisper as he answered: "Mr Holmes, they were the footprints of a gigantic hound!” This is the answer! I hope it helped...
A compound sentence is at least two independent clauses that have related ideas for ex. I like soccer, (1 clause) and he likes basketball. (2 clause)
A simple sentence is only one independent clause for ex. The report is complete. (1 clause)
A run on sentence is two or more clauses. The sentence is crowded no stopping periods just commas. For ex. The corporation is packed with goods and services, and the goods are produced daily, customers love our products, sales and profit rise- more competition.
1. Your correct it is a compound sentence because there is at least two independent clauses and most importantly the ideas are related. "Jan went on a quiz show, (1) won two hundred dollars, (2) and bought gifts for her family."
2. The museum was crowded, but our group was able to see everything.(1) after the comma you count each sentence to see how many clauses. After the comma in this sentence there is only one clause so the answer is simple sentence
3. My puppy is well-trained; he call sit and speak. Semicolons are only used to complete a sentence.
As a matter of fact, as long as the sentence has one clause then the sentence is automatically a simple sentence. Semicolons are used to complete a sentence so they don't produce another clause. That is a simple sentence.
As long as you count the sentence after the comma(s) you can determine if it is a compound sentence- all related information 1, 2 or even 3 clauses, a simple sentence only 1 clause- supporting punctuation (semicolons) doesn't affect the sentence, and run on sentence heavy info in just 1 sentence with many commas.
Hope this sheds some light :)
