Which sentence from "The Rosetta Stone” is a compound sentence? Only the last fourteen lines of the hieroglyphic text were intac
t, and the missing pieces made it hard to decipher the text. Young used an old code breaker's technique of looking for a crib, or a word that can be identified in the text. Hundreds of scribes were employed, some to write the text out in hieratic, others to translate them to hieroglyphs, and still others to check for mistakes. They were written on papyrus and carved into stone to communicate between this world and the next.
The answer is: Only the last fourteen lines of the hieroglyphic text were intact, and the missing pieces made it hard to decipher the text.
A compound sentence is one that has two distinct clauses (parts) that can function on their own. This sentence demonstrates this characteristic because it can be broken into two complete sentences: “Only the last fourteen lines of the hieroglyphic text were intact.” and “The missing pieces made it hard to decipher the text.”
In these conflicts I behave very carefully. I behave careful because I don't want to make them upset or say something I will come to regret. I think other would agree because most people in my life know that I try my best to think before I speak even in situations of conflict
