This question is incomplete because part of the text is missing, here is the complete excerpt for the question:

Read this excerpt from Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll.

"That would never do, I'm sure," said Alice: "the governess would never think of excusing me lessons for that. If she couldn't remember my name, she'd call me 'Miss!' as the servants do."

"Well, if she said 'Miss,' and didn't say anything more," the Gnat remarked, "of course you'd miss your lessons. That's a joke. I wish YOU had made it."

"Why do you wish I had made it?" Alice asked. "It's a very bad one."

But the Gnat only sighed deeply, while two large tears came rolling down its cheeks.

"You shouldn't make jokes," Alice said, "if it makes you so unhappy."

Then came another of those melancholy little sighs, and this time the poor Gnat really seemed to have sighed itself away, for, when Alice looked up, there was nothing whatever to be seen on the twig, and, as she was getting quite chilly with sitting still so long, she got up and walked on.

The answer to this question is C. The gnat makes jokes, but they seem to cause him unhappiness rather than joy.

Explanation:

Opposites are contradictory elements, characters, actions, or events. In the excerpt from Through the Looking Glass, the author Lewis Carroll used opposite actions in the Gnat character. Indeed, in this dialogue between the Gnat and Alice, the gnat decides to make a joke or funny remark in "Well, if she said 'Miss,' and didn't say anything more...of course you'd miss your lessons"; however, right after this remark, the Gnat is sad and melancholic "the Gnat only sighed deeply, while two large tears came rolling down its cheeks", which shows contradictory or opposite actions.

Which of the following best contributes to clear writing?
sergiy2304 [10]
<span>The correct answer is B. Active sentence construction leads to clear writing because a) it uses fewer words and b) it clarifies exactly WHO is performing the action of the sentence. On the other hand, if one's vocabulary is too complex, the reader may get confused. Similarly, redundant word choice makes for wordy, complicated writing, which may also confuse the reader. Finally, complex sentence structure can also confuse the reader. Active sentence construction is important for clarity.</span>

Decide whether each sentence is simple, compound, or complex. I took the dog for a long walk. The dog ran happily through the pa
baherus [9]

Answer:

I took the dog for a long walk. - simple

The dog ran happily through the park because he had been stuck in the house all day. - complex

He stopped to smell several flowers, and he chased a rabbit. - compound

Explanation:

<u>A simple sentence is constituted of a only one independent clause</u>.<u> It has a subject and a predicate, and it expresses a complete thought. </u>That is what we have in "I took the dog for a long walk."

<u>A complex sentence is formed by joining two clauses, one independent and the other dependent/subordinate.</u> <u>The dependent clause needs the independent one to make sense, since it does not express a complete thought on its own.</u> That is what we have in "The dog ran happily through the park because he had been stuck in the house all day." The subordinating conjunction "because" introduces the dependent clause.

<u>A compound sentence is formed by joining two independent clauses connected by a coordinating conjunction - for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so.</u> That is what happens in "He stopped to smell several flowers, and he chased a rabbit." In this case, the conjunction is "and".
