Answer:

Hello, you didn't say what the task is, but I assume we have to choose the option that best describes the composition and the format of the excerpt from Douglas A Segar's <em>Introduction to the Ocean Sciences</em>. If so, I would choose D.

Explanation:

I chose D because the excerpt begins with the argument and continues with the conclusion, that is that "<em>terrestrial organisms are relatively easy to study</em>". Then, the study of terrestrial organisms are compared with the study of ocean life, that is not so easy due to its nature of being present "<em>throughout the depth of the ocean waters, and for several meters, or more, into the sediment.</em>" and it is not as easy to reach as the first one.

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:The sentence above is a simple sentence.

Explanation

The sentence above is a simple sentence because it contains only one independent clause. Simple sentences have no dependent clauses. Moreover, they are also called clausal sentences and they may have modifiers besides a subject, a verb, and an object. On the contrary, compound sentences join two or more independent clauses with a coordinator such as for, and, but, or a semi-colon.

Rama09 [41]

This is the main structure:

Each incorporates non-English words
