Answer:

It is a compound-complex sentence

Explanation:

To answer this question we need to understand what the definitions are:

A simple sentence has just one independent clause or one complete thought. It has one subject, one verb, and modifiers.

A complex sentence has one independent clause (one subject, a verb, its modifiers, and a complete thought; this sentence can stand alone) and one dependent clause (it doesn't have a complete thought, it depends on the independent clause).

A compound sentence has two independent clauses, they can stand alone, both of them have a complete thought, and they are joined by coordinating conjunctions 'and', 'but', 'or'.

A complex-compound sentence has two independent clauses that can stand on their own without losing a complete thought, and one dependent clause (it can't stand alone; it depends on the independent clause).

So let's look at the given sentence:

<em>This impact was felt from the bottom up, and these contributions to</em>

<em>American institutions may be the ones which most intimately affect the</em>

<em>lives of all Americans.</em>

We can see that the first clause is independent - <u>This impact was felt from the bottom up</u> - it has a complete thought; it can stand alone.

The other clause is also independent - <u>and these contributions to</u>

<u>American institutions may be the ones</u> - it has a complete thought; it can stand alone; it is connected to the other clause with coordinating conjunction 'and'.

The last clause is the dependent clause - <u>which most intimately affects the lives of all Americans</u> - it can't stand alone; it doesn't have a complete thought. To be exact it is an adjective clause, it explains the noun 'contributions' or the pronoun 'one'.

So, we have two independent clauses and one dependent. It is a complex-compound sentence.

I hope it helped you :)

Read this excerpt from "Mad Cow, Furious Farmer.”
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

A.Mad cow disease ended because of government bans on feeding cows certain foods, but people were angry that governments did not act sooner.

Explanation:

The text explains that the disease was identified in 1986.  Seven years later, in 1993, the disease had reached an epidemic level and was causing huge losses to the farmers and panic among the consumers.

In 1997, governments banned some food for the bovines and the epidemic was quickly controlled afterwards.  By 2010, the disease had largely disappeared.

The farmers are angry that the governments didn't help them earlier and the consumers are angry they were put at risk.

In The Tragedy of Macbeth, Act IV, which adjective would Macduff and Malcolm be most likely to use to describe Macbeth’s rule on
AveGali [126]

Answer:

D. Pernicious

Explanation:

<em>The Tragedy of Macbeth</em> is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare. It tells about a Scottish general Macbeth, who receives a prophecy from three witches. According to the prophecy, he will become king of Scotland. Spurred by his ambition and wife, Macbeth murders Duncan, takes over the throne, and rules as a tyrant. He slaughters many, including Macduff's family. Macduff reaches out to Malcolm, Duncan's son who had fled to England, and they gather an army consisting of Scottish and English forces and end Macbeth's reign.

Based on this information, we can conclude that the word Macduff and Malcolm would use to describe Macbeth's rule is <em>pernicious</em>. When something is pernicious, it has a harmful effect (on something).

The rest of the words don't fit at all. The adjective <em>judicious </em>refers to something that shows or is done with good judgment. The adjective <em>sundry </em>means <em>of various kinds,</em> and when someone is credulous, they are too ready to believe that something is true.

This is why option D is the correct one.
