Answer:

I believe the best classification for the sentence is compound-complex.

Explanation:

A compound-complex sentence is comprised of two independent clauses and one dependent one. Let's remember that an independent clause is one capable of expressing a complete thought on its own. A dependent clause, on the other hand, does not express a complete thought. Instead, it depends on the main clause to make sense. When we join independent clauses, we use coordinating conjunctions. When we introduce a dependent clause, we use a subordinating conjunction. Let's take a look at our sentence:

Because they provide toys for children, fast food restaurants like McDonald's have become immensely popular among families, and the price of a Happy Meal makes them a great choice for parents as well as kids.

Notice that we have two independent clauses that can express a complete thought on their own:

1. fast food restaurants like McDonald's have become immensely popular among families

2. the price of a Happy Meal makes them a great choice for parents as well as kids

Those two clauses are joined by a comma and the coordinating conjunction "and":

-- fast food restaurants like McDonald's have become immensely popular among families, and the price of a Happy Meal makes them a great choice for parents as well as kids.

Prior to the first independent clause, we have a dependent one, introduced by the subordinating conjunction "because". Notice how it does not make complete sense on its own:

3. Because they provide toys for children

There is information missing. But, when we place together it with the main clauses, it makes sense:

W14. Identify the error that needs to be corrected Options: adverbs vs. adjectives, misplaced modifier, incorrect verb tense, su

AysviL [449]

Answer:

1. Sunny yet dusty, the traveler finally arrived at her destination. -- misplaced modifier

2. The raccoon could not decides whether to cross the highway that night. -- subject-verb disagreement

3 The policemen hauled the escaped prisoner off to jail and fingerprint him before putting him in a cell. -- incorrect verb tense

4. The electric eel emitted his electric charge and they dived to the ocean's depths. -- pronoun antecedent disagreement

Explanation:

1. "Sunny yet dusty" is a misplaced modifier. Modifiers usually stand close to the noun they refer to. In this case, it would not make sense for the word "sunny" to refer to "traveler" in this context. That means this modifier refers to "destination", but is too far away from it in the structure.

2. "The raccoon decides" would be alright, but we have "could not" right after the subject. In this case, "decides" should not be conjugated. The right form would be "The raccoon could not decide."

3. The whole sentence talks about actions that took place in the past. However, the verb "fingerprint" is not conjugated in its past form, which makes it inconsistent with the rest of the sentence.

4. The electric eel is an animal. The best pronoun to use to refer to an eel would be "it". Let's suppose this is a fable or some other type of story that refers to animals as "he" or "she". That would make "his" acceptable, but we would still have a problem with the "they" afterwards. Who are they? The sentence only mentions the eel.
