Answer: C. It just thrills me that we have so much waste in landfills.

In this sentence, the author uses a sarcastic remark. Sarcasm refers to a sharp expression that usually shows an ambivalence similar to irony. Sarcasm is usually an ironic remark in which the speaker does not mean what he says. It is usually intended to mock or express contempt. In this case, the speaker is saying he is thrilled to have so much waste in landfills. This is likely to be false. Moreover, it is intended to criticize the problem of waste in our society.

Top-left: Wealth worship. The landlord is so impressed and intimidated by the bank note that he barely dares to take it.
Middle-left: Impending doom. You can tell that the narrator is experiencing a sense of upcoming catastrophe through phrases like "I judged that there as going to be a crash." The situation the narrator is in also involves danger: "I must swim across or drown."
Top-right: Rags to riches. Taken literally, this expression means going from the poorest to the wealthiest one possibly can be. But in this context, it is more about 'social riches:' the character goes from being insignificant in the eyes of others, to widely influential.
Middle-right: Wealth worship. The landlord is willing to accept any of the narrator's whims simply because he is wealthy, but at the same time, he fears him and his power: "he hoped he wasn't afraid to trust as rich a gentleman as I was."
Bottom: Impending doom. The threatening danger here is expressed by the fact that a "thin crust" is all that keeps the narrator from falling into the crater.

Identify the following sentence as simple, compound, complex, or compound-complex.

Vesnalui [34]

This sentence is complex because it contains both a dependant and an independent clause. Do not be fooled by the addition of "however" or the length of the sentence.

If you need reasoning, here you are:

Simple: has one independent clause

Compound: has two independent clauses (either joined by a coordinating conjunction or a semicolon)

Complex: contains a dependant and an independent clause

Compound-Complex: Contains at least two independent clauses and one dependent clause

Hope this helps! If you have any questions about what any of the words that I used in my explanation mean (such as an independent clause and a dependent clause), feel free to ask.
