Answer:

Thoughtful, dramatic, imaginative

Explanation:

According to a different source, this is the excerpt and the options that are included with this question:

<em>He wandered far from the accustomed haunts of boys, and sought desolate places that were in harmony with his spirit. A log raft in the river invited him, and he seated himself on its outer edge and contemplated the dreary vastness of the stream, wishing, the while, that he could only be drowned, all at once and unconsciously, without undergoing the uncomfortable routine devised by nature. Then he thought of his flower. He got it out, rumpled and wilted, and it mightily increased his dismal felicity. He wondered if she would pity him if she knew? Would she cry, and wish that she had a right to put her arms around his neck and comfort him? Or would she turn coldly away like all the hollow world? This picture brought such an agony of pleasurable suffering that he worked it over and over again in his mind and set it up in new and varied lights, till he wore it threadbare. At last he rose up sighing and departed in the darkness.</em>

What type of sentence is "my brother cut the grass on saturday"
Savatey [412]

My brother cut the grass on Saturday.

It is a simple sentence since it contains a subject (<em>My brother</em>) and a verb (<em>cut)</em>. It also has a direct object (<em>the grass</em>) and a prepositional phrase of time (<em>on Saturday</em>). It is important to state that a sentence must have a complete idea and stands on its own. That's why this type of sentence is called independent clause.
