Most times, this noun or pronoun is found to the right of the preposition. Moreover, in some cases, a gerund can also function as object of the preposition, In the sentence provided,<u> the object of the proposition is a noun ("protest") and it is found to the right of "by means of". </u>
First of all, you need to know what a compound sentence is. It is a sentence which contains at least two independent clauses. Having that in mind, here is an example of such a sentence containing words sharecropper and windswept:
<em>The sharecropper worked in the windswept fields the entire day and then went home to eat some food.</em>
There are two independent clauses here: 1. the sharecropper worked in the windswept fields + and + 2. then (he) went home to eat some food.

The "Nut Graph" is known as the paragraph that helps to put the story in context, provides any additional information that may be useful for the reader and that can lead to a better understanding of it.

In journalism, it is used when the writer considers that the reader will need more context in order to understand why, what, who and how it happened, without really saying it, because this answers are normally given during the first and second paragraph.
