Hope this helps :)
Answer:
I already read the passage so u have nothing to fear.
1) The word, semi, would present the image of an ancient king who whilst knowing exactly how to rule a kingdom,still engages in the rather archaic and wild customs of his people.
2) The two things behind the doors were a young beautiful woman and a fierce man eating tiger.
3) I think that is isn't fair. The system is based on luck and chance and most of the time, luck is not balanced.
5)The princess knows what is behind the doors and which door contains what. That means that she has all the knowledge she needs to be of help to her young lover. But it is her turbulent emotions on the subject that will make or mar his predicament.
6)The lady behind the door most definitely likes her lover and would not be opposed to marrying him. So of course the princess will hate her and do anything to stop her from being happy.
8) The lady. As far as I know, based on the evidence from the story, the princess loves the soldier and loving him would not do anything to spoil his or her happiness. The greatest part of love is sacrifice,and semi-barbaric as she is, I think the princess would understand that. Even though she hates the Lady behind the door, the survival of her lover depended on his marriage to that lady.
A complex sentence will contain an independent clause and a dependent clause
I had tea because there was no coffee left.
I had tea -- independent
because there was no coffee left -- dependent
