Answer:

"debris-choked".

Explanation:

In the given passage, the speaker/ author presents the difference between the Glen Canyon and Lake Powell. This contrasting image/ description is made in such a way that the difference is felt and projects a drastic image.

The comparison of these reservoirs is so drastic that the author uses life and death to compare it. While <em>"Glen Canyon was alive. Lake Powell is a graveyard." </em>And the one phrase that best contributes to the author's sad tone is<em> "debris-choked",</em> which presents an image of a place that is dying, or on the verge of death.

kiruha [24]

"<em>Tom went to the grocery store, and Jerry went to the library."</em>

The correct answer is A. Compound sentence.

<em>A compound sentence is one composed by two independent clauses joined by a conjunction. </em>

  • <em>Independent clauses:  </em>It is a sentence that can stand alone (It has no need of complement to have a logical meaning), in the sentence there are two independent clauses:

<em>1. Tom went to the grocery store  --  2. Jerry went to the library.</em>


  • <em>Conjunction: </em>It is a connector, in this case is one of the coordinating conjunctions (For, AND, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So) and it connects the two independent clauses.

Answer: Ash stalked through the bushes, chasing the scent of a dead deer. The carrion would have been at least 3 days old by now, and was setting the forest ablaze with it’s sickly sweet scent. He sped up as the scent grew closer and closer. When he finally saw the corpse through a tangle of bushes, he dashed forward, not noticing the other wolf in the clearing. With a thud, Ash smacked into the other wolf’s rear and fell to the ground. The unknown wolf kept on gorging on the meat, hardly giving Ash a second glance. Trying to regain his dignity, Ash stood up and gave his fur a tidy lick before clearing his throat. “Ahem. Strange wolf, you are trespassing on Alpha Pack territory. Please disperse immediately from our land.” He hoped the mysterious wolf would listen, but no, it kept on chowing down on the food. Ash wondered if they had even heard his announcement. With a sigh, he rudely shoved past the wolf until he was standing face-to-face with them. Staring deep into their bored yellow eyes he snapped “Get lost, or you’ve something coming!” Maybe intimidation would work. But, Ash thought as he backed away, he had picked wrong. Finally, the wolf’s head snapped up, his ochre gaze snapping onto Ash’s face. Licking their lips, they then peeled back their lips, revealing a row of blinding white fangs stained red from blood. With a thunderous snarl, the fierce wolf launched themself onto Ash, turning his world into a beautiful race haze...
