Answer:

3rd

In many ways, he is the antagonist to the constantly calm Juror #8.

Juror #3 is immediately vocal about the supposed simplicity of the case and the obvious guilt of the defendant. He is quick to lose his temper and is often infuriated when Juror #8 and other members disagree with his opinions.

He believes that the defendant is absolutely guilty until the very end of the play. During Act Three, Juror #3’s emotional baggage is revealed. His poor relationship with his own son may have biased his views and it is only when he comes to terms with this that he can finally vote “not guilty.”

7th

A slick, superior, and sometimes obnoxious salesman, Juror #7 admits during Act One that he would have done anything to miss jury duty and is trying to get out of it as fast as possible. He represents the many real-life individuals who loathe the idea of being on a jury.  He is also quick to add his piece of mind to the conversation. He seems to want to condemn the defendant because of the youth's previous criminal record, stating that he would have beaten the boy as a child just like the defendant's father did.

8th

He votes “not guilty” during the jury’s first vote. Described as "thoughtful" and "gentle," Juror #8 is usually portrayed as the most heroic member of the jury. He is devoted to justice and is right away sympathetic toward the 19-year-old defendant.

Juror #8 spends the rest of the play urging the others to practice patience and to contemplate the details of the case. He thinks that they owe it to the defendant to at least talk about the verdict for a while.

A guilty verdict will result in the electric chair; therefore, Juror #8 wants to discuss the relevance of the witness testimony. He is convinced that there is reasonable doubt and eventually succeeds in persuading the other jurors to acquit the defendant.

Identify the choice that best describes the sentence
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

complex

Explanation:

This is a compound sentence because it contains an independent clause and a dependent clause. An independent clause is able to stand on its own and would make sense as a separate sentence. A dependent clause is awkward if left alone and, as such, needs to be included as part of a sentence.

The independent clase in this example is:

<em>humans were interested in astronomy</em>

The dependent clause is:

<em>even before telescopes were invented</em>
