English

Answer and Explanation:

Henry's speech at the Virginia Convention is titled "Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death" where he expresses all the anger he feels towards England's domination of American territory. In this speech, he presents a persuasive tone, where he encourages the listeners to agree with his arguments and also to revolt against the English dominance. To achieve this he uses the rhetorical device called "pathos" which is the device that evokes the sentimentality of people and uses the emotions of the public to persuade them. In Henry's speech, this rhetorical feature can be observed in several sentences, especially in sentences such as:

  • " What terms shall we find which have not been already exhausted? Let us not, I beseech you, sir, deceive ourselves. Sir, we have done everything that could be done to avert the storm which is now coming on. We have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated; we have prostrated ourselves before the throne, and have implored its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the ministry and Parliament."
  • "Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have?"
  • "Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. The millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone."

Which of the following is a compound sentence?
Bogdan [553]
A compound sentence needs at least two independent clauses and can be combined by conjunctions such as and, or, but, for, yet, nor and so.  The independent clauses can also be combined by a semicolon ;

(A)
If we look at A, we can see A does not have two independent clauses. There is a depend and an independent clause and that is why we have a comma after go in A.

(B)
What I said about A is the same for B

(C)
Ah! good old C. C has two independent clauses and has the conjunction and after mall and before John. This is very important because this is where one independent clause stops and another independent clause starts. C has everything that makes up a compound sentence so the answer is C.

(D)
If we look at D, we can see D is just a single independent clause, which is asking a question.
