This is an excerpt from Sonnet 18 written by Shakespeare. If you know anything about Shakespeare's sonnets, you know that they always have a regular meter, which means that all of them are written in iambic pentameter. This means that the first syllable is unstressed, and it is followed by a stressed syllable.
So, when applied to this poem, just split the words into syllables - the first one will be unstressed (so, as, can, or, can), and the second one will be stressed (long, men, breathe, eyes, see).
(I took the penultimate line as an example)

Read the excerpts from " The Royal House of Thebes " and " The Story of a Warrior Queen ."
Kipish [7]

The excerpts from "The Royal House of Thebes" and "The Story of a Warrior Queen"  are similar because both express the theme that women are as capable as men.

Both stories present the idea that <u>women are as fearless and determined as men</u>.<u> Antigone and Boadicea are two female characters that are convinced of what they want and they know how to reach it</u>. Furthermore, they are both tragic heroines. In "The Royal House of Thebes", Antigone sacrifices her own life by disobeying Creon and burying Polyneices, her brother. Moreover, in "The Story of a Warrior Queen", Boadicea, the great queen, decides to poison herself before being attacked by her biggest enemies: the Romans.

Which of the following sentences is complex?
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

The sentence that is complex is:

C. After Danny and Erica rode their bikes throughout the countryside, they went back to Erica's house and had some cool lemonade.

Explanation:

A complex sentence is formed by joining an independent clause to a dependent or subordinate one. An independent clause is able to stand alone as a sentence because it can convey a complete thought on its own. A dependent clause on the other hand, cannot do that. Alone, it sounds incomplete.

<u>The sentence "After Danny and Erica rode their bikes throughout the countryside, they went back to Erica's house and had some cool lemonade" is an example of a complex sentence. The independent clause is:</u>

<u>- they went back to Erica's house and had some cool lemonade</u>

<u>The dependent clause is the one beginning with a subordinating conjunction (after), and which cannot stand alone as a sentence:</u>

<u>- After Danny and Erica rode their bikes throughout the countryside</u>
