A compound sentence is made up of two or more simple sentences joined with a conjunction.
Complex sentences must include at least one dependent clause introduced by a subordinating conjunction or a relative pronoun and an independent clause.
A compound-complex sentence has one complex sentence joined to a simple sentence with a conjunction.
Therefore, the sentence, "because our favorite restaurant was closed, we decided to cook dinner at home." is a complex sentence. This is the correct answer because the dependent clause, "because our favorite restaurant was closed" was introduced by the subordinating conjunction, "because". It also has an independent clause, "we decided to cook dinner at home."
Answer:
c) It explains the author’s feeling that she is not important to her father
Explanation:
From the passage of <em>Only Daughter, </em>the narrator talks about how her father is always boasting or complaining to everyone that cared to listen that he has seven sons. He would tell the parish priest, the Sears Roebuck employee, the cook, and any other person within reach.
This action of the narrator's father shows that she does not feel important to her father because everything he ever boasts about is his "seven sons" without even acknowledging her.
If you're referring to Daisy from the Great Gatsby, she is contradictory because she might behave like she is a rich trophy wife whose job is to just be beautiful, but it turns out that she is actually just a woman that is trapped by the society. She would gladly be with Gatsby, but the society being oppressive as it is making her conform.
