Please help me out.Which theme is conveyed in this excerpt from "The Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allan Poe? TRUE!—nervous—very, ve

ry dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad? The disease had sharpened my senses—not destroyed—not dulled them. Above all was the sense of hearing acute. I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in hell. How, then, am I mad? Hearken! and observe how healthily—how calmly I can tell you the whole story. It is impossible to say how first the idea entered my brain; but once conceived, it haunted me day and night. Object there was none. Passion there was none. I loved the old man. He had never wronged me. He had never given me insult. For his gold I had no desire. I think it was his eye! yes, it was this! He had the eye of a vulture—a pale blue eye, with a film over it. Whenever it fell upon me, my blood ran cold; and so by degrees—very gradually—I made up my mind to take the life of the old man, and thus rid myself of the eye forever. A. The insane have no sense of time. B. The insane are obsessed with mortality. C. The insane are incapable of using deception. D. The insane lack imagination. E. The insane live in a reality of their own.

The group _______ excited to see one another again. Which verb agrees with the subject in the sentence? A. were B. am C. was D.
WARRIOR [948]
I would say C. “was”. It’s definitely not “am”, because that just sounds completely wrong. It’s not “are” because that sounds a bit wrong, too. It can’t be “were” because it’s only referring to one group, not many groups. The only answer it could be is C.

Classify below as simple, compound, complex, or compound-complex :
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

I believe the best classification for the sentence is compound-complex.

Explanation:

A compound-complex sentence is comprised of two independent clauses and one dependent one. Let's remember that an independent clause is one capable of expressing a complete thought on its own. A dependent clause, on the other hand, does not express a complete thought. Instead, it depends on the main clause to make sense. When we join independent clauses, we use coordinating conjunctions. When we introduce a dependent clause, we use a subordinating conjunction. Let's take a look at our sentence:

Because they provide toys for children, fast food restaurants like McDonald's have become immensely popular among families, and the price of a Happy Meal makes them a great choice for parents as well as kids.

Notice that we have two independent clauses that can express a complete thought on their own:

1. fast food restaurants like McDonald's have become immensely popular among families

2. the price of a Happy Meal makes them a great choice for parents as well as kids

Those two clauses are joined by a comma and the coordinating conjunction "and":

-- fast food restaurants like McDonald's have become immensely popular among families, and the price of a Happy Meal makes them a great choice for parents as well as kids.

Prior to the first independent clause, we have a dependent one, introduced by the subordinating conjunction "because". Notice how it does not make complete sense on its own:

3. Because they provide toys for children

There is information missing. But, when we place together it with the main clauses, it makes sense:

Because they provide toys for children, fast food restaurants like McDonald's have become immensely popular among families, and the price of a Happy Meal makes them a great choice for parents as well as kids.
