Is the sentence a simple or a compound sentence?

English

FrozenT [24]3 years ago

This is a compound sentence, because there are two independent clauses here: 1. Stone bridges are strong + but 2. (strong bridges) are costly to build.
The conjunction 'but' connects two independent clauses, and a compound sentence contains at least two independent clauses, whereas a simple sentence has only one.

schepotkina [342]
Peggy Cort is a lonely spinster librarian living on 1950s Cape Cod when an unusual young boy comes into her libarary. He is James Sweatt and he is already taller than any boys in his school and growing at a rapid rate. The book covers the slow friendship that develops between Peggy and James the Giant. Peggy is there when James gets injured, when his mother dies and when he travels.

Peggy realizes about halfway through the book that she is in love with the young giant but doesn't quite know what to do with her emotions. She helps his family build him a giant-sized cottage behind their house. She tries to set him up with a girl his own age as a teenager but eventually his friends grow up and leave and he is left with Peggy as his primary friend to help him deal with the tourists and gawkers who come to see the boy who won't stop growing.

When he is over eight feet tall and nineteen the two go to New York City to participate in the circus. While they are there he meets the smallest woman in the world who talks to him of marriage and he asks Peggy if she wants to get married. They talk about it but nothing comes of it and after they return, although they have declared their love for each other it is too late and the giant is already becoming sicker and dies soon after.

Combine the following sentences using appropriate conjunctions to have just one complex sentence. a) Citizens believe that they
Harman [31]

Answer and Explanation:

Since the instructions do not ask us to use any specific conjunctions, let's just use the most obvious ones. For instance, we can use "or", or "both... and" to join the second and the third sentences. We can also make them shorter by avoiding repetition. To join the fourth sentence to the rest, we can use "but" or "although", since it is offering an explanation that contradicts/imposes a condition over what was said earlier. Thus:

- Citizens believe that they have the right to be or do whatever they desire, but this right exists as long as they do not hurt others.

- Citizens believe that they have the right to both be and do whatever they desire, although this right exists as long as they do not hurt others.
