I think that throws light on our assumption that there is such a thing as moral progress — we in the West consider ourselves largely more enlightened than our great, great grandparents, who are likely to have been racist, sexist and homophobic (just for starters). But at the same time, the question prohibits us from being smug about this progress and draws attention to our own failings. Yet it does so in a detached way, asking not ‘What are we doing wrong?’ which is likely to make people defensive, but the more roundabout question of what other people in the future might think we are doing wrong (which leaves open the possibility that they are wrong about what we are doing wrong, it removes the idea that we are being judged So that’s what I think I hope that help :)
Of the three sentences of this excerpt from a travel
journal, the second sentence is the most appropriate style in which to continue
writing the journal. This is because,
while the first and third sentences do well at providing the author’s
enthusiasm about what was visited, only the second sentence includes
descriptions about what was actually seen in the travels. As such, it would be best to continue to
include descriptions for places visited for the travel journal.
Answer: 1. Compound complex sentence.
2. The cat walked and purred.
Explanation: 1. Compound complex sentences have at least 2 independent clauses and one dependent clause combined by a comma and/or coordinating conjuction.
[After Molly lost the student council] - Dependent clause
[She decided to try out for soccer] - Independent clause
[Her friends thought she made a good decision] - independent clause
These sentences above are combined by a coordinating conjuction and commas.
2. The coordinating conjuction (and) is used to combine the two sentences therefore it is unnecessary to use the subject ( the cat) repeatedly.
