An email giving details of five broken vases received from a seller:
- Claim - part of me wants to say that this is a request, but nothing in the sentence says that the customer wanted to be refunded or receive a new product. With this knowledge, this is most likely a claim since the customer is making a claim about the product received. However, I could be incorrect.
A letter outlining an idea to increase a company's sales by 10 percent:
- Proposal - This is an idea, not a plan in effect. Therefore, it is a proposal.
A letter complaining about the service at a dry cleaner:
- Claim - Once again, I want to say that this is a request, but nothing in the sentence says that the customer is requesting a refund for the service, so I am going to say that this is a claim since the customer is making a claim about their service. Once again, I could be incorrect.

The sentence that best connects the two ideas is the first one: The park benches need a new coat of paint, so we should volunteer to paint them.
This is a complex sentence since it includes two clauses: an independent clause and a dependent clause.<u> They have been joined by means of the conjunction "so" to indicate that benches sould be painted as a result of knowing that they need a new coat of paint</u>. <u>"So" indicates a cause-effect relationship</u>. On the other hand, the other option do not make any sense since the clauses have been joined by "however", an adverb that is used to indicate contradiction, and "although", a subordinating conjunction that connects ideas that contrast. <u>The clauses contained in this sentence do not present ideas that contrast nor express a contradiction</u>; therefore, a conjunction that indicates cause-effect relationship such as "so" must be used.
