Answer:

B. Human beings often need the help of animals in order to survive.

Explanation:

"Zlateh the Goat" is a short story written by Polish-American author Isaac Bashevis Singer.

The story takes place in a Polish village, in the late 19th century, during the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah. Reuven, a local furrier, is forced to sell Zlateh, the family goat, because of financial issues. He sends his son Aaron with Zlateh to town to sell Zlateh to the butcher. During the trip, Aaron and Zlateh get caught in a snowstorm. They hide in a haystack covered with snow and spend the next three days there together. The food Aaron had with him quickly runs out and he fears that he may starve to death, but luckily, Zlateh is able to produce milk by eating the hay. By drinking that milk, Aaron survives.

The idea of this story is that people often need the help of animals in order to live, as stated by statement C. All other statements refer to plot points.

Compound

Explanation:

A simple sentence contains one independent clause. A compound sentence contains more than one! Put another way: a simple sentence contains a subject and a predicate, but a compound sentence contains more than one subject and more than one predicate.

Answer:

Don't worry! I'll write a starter for you and you can continue.

Explanation:

I vividly remember rushing home on my bike. The storm was getting worse, I could only see clearly for at least 20 feet. I sped up, due to the loud sounds of the storm behind me. It felt weird, ya know, to be riding a bike during this horrible storm. I would usually be riding home with my best friend Donovan, but being the nut he is he's stuck in detention. I sped up on my bike, ready to take a sharp left turn, but as soon as I did my bike slid. I didn't scream, not until a saw a strike of lightning hit my bike. And as you and I know, electricity can pass through metal very easily, so I screamed out of pain as the electricity passed throughout my body. It wasn't for long, but I flopped onto the ground as I let out a shaky sigh. Suddenly, a pair of lights appeared on my face, it was a car- heading straight my way. I couldn't move, so out of fear and shock, I put my hand up and screamed "STOP!". I shut my eyes tight, so tight it was beginning to hurt, but soon it felt like everything in me was being collected in one spot. The center, and before I knew it, everything blasted out, and I heard a huge crash. Opening one of my eyes out of curiosity, I can't express the emotion I felt when I saw the car on it's side, some feet away from me. I opened my other eye, and I was so confused, it was scary. Despite the pain, I picked up my bike and ran on the sidewalk with it, before hopping on and riding away. I could hear the man in the car calling "Hey kid- kid? Are you alright? What happened?" I shut my eyes and rid faster, all the way home.
