Answer:

A). As the United States grew into a fast-paced society,

Explanation:

The given sentence exemplifies a complex sentence as it consists of a dependent or subordinate clause followed an independent clause.<u> The dependent clause is characterized as the clause that cannot stand on its own and is dependent on the principal or independent clause to accomplish its meaning. Such clauses begin with a subordinating conjunction</u>. In the given sentence, the clause 'As...society,' is the dependent clause as it justifies the above definition(begins with subordinating conjunction 'as' and its dependency on main clause to complete its meaning). Therefore, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.

Tresset [83]
Right now I am stuck with not being able to make significant money because I haven't heard from my client for about 2  1/2 weeks ie no communication so consequently have not been paid and have no new work. A new way to think about it is, "no hay mal que bien no venga" which means there is not a bad thing that something good does not come of it. In my case, it has given me the time to work on my historical book which is at the publisher's and which needs my attention.I can seek help by talking to the internet agency that my client uses and have them try to call him. If he no longer has work, then I can bid on new contracts that come up as ones are always coming up.

Read the following passage.
Nutka1998 [239]

I believe this an example of complex sentence structure.

My reasoning is that most of these sentences are in fact compound complex sentences-

Compound-complex sentences contain two independent clauses and at least one dependent clause.

An example of a complex sentence is this: “I burned dinner but not the cake.”

Which statement best explains what readers learn about constancia from the dialogue in this excerpt?
beks73 [17]

Answer:

Part A: C. Constancia doesn’t realize the effect that her actions have on others

Part B: C. ”I don’t understand why she’s so upset"

Explanation:

This is the excerpt from Judith Ortiz Cofer's short story "Abuela Invents the Zero".

Although no specific dialogue is cited in the question, I'm assuming it refers to the dialogue between Constancia and her mother at the end of the story.

Constancia's grandmother comes to a visit and, being a Catholic, she wants to attend the Sunday mass. It is decided that Constancia will escort her to the church since her mothet is sick and her father stays to take care of her.

Constancia accepts reluctantly but the situation only gets worse when she feels embarrassed by her grandmother's appearance and behaviour at the church.

When Abuela gets lost in the church, Constancia doesn't help her at all, not wanting people to see them together.

This selfish act hurt Abuela so she doesn't speak to Constancia on their way home nor she accepts her help with walking.

This only shows that Constancia only cared about how her grandma embarrassed her and what her friend would say of this; she didn't care about her Abuela's feelings or helping her.

This can also best be seen from her excuses when mother confronts her and she still seems unaware of the fact she hurt her grandmother's feelings.
