Answer:

<h3>The motif of wishing for Yoni was through the sale of his video footage. </h3><h3>The motif of wishing for Yoni was through the magic goldfish. </h3><h3>The motif of wishing for the goldfish was through the final wish. </h3>

Explanation:  

In the story "What, Of this Goldfish, Would you wish?", the motif of wishing for Yoni was through his innocent yet ambitious dream of selling his video footage to companies. "With a little decent footage, he was sure he’d be able to sell it to Channel 8 or  Discovery in a flash,".

For Sergei, the motif of wishing was through the magic goldfish. Through this line ‘‘I’m a magic fish. I’m fluent in everything:”, we can see that the goldfish had the magic to grant Sergei with wishes.

The motif of wishing for the goldfish was that once he granted three wishes to Sergei, he would have his freedom. The lines "After the last wish, Sergei won’t have a choice. He’ll have to let the goldfish go. His magic goldfish. His friend."

There is no similarity in the wishes of these three characters. Yoni wanted success and wealth, Sergei wanted companionship and someone to talk to and the goldfish wanted freedom.

The correct answer is C. complex.
A complex sentence contains one independent clause and at least one dependent clause. Here, the independent clause is <em>Galileo, the first astronomer to use a telescope, confirmed the theory </em>and the dependent clause is <em>that the earth and planets circle the sun.
</em>A is incorrect because a simple sentence contains only one independent clause; B is incorrect because a compound sentence contains at least two independent clauses; D is incorrect because a compound-complex sentence contains one independent clause and at least two dependent ones.
