In "Shooting an Elephant" by George Orwell, the narrator's real reason for shooting the elephant is that he does not want to appear foolish.

Explanation: The narrator was followed by a crowd to the elephant that was rampaging. Even though it was legal, he felt that the elephant did not need to be killed because it was sleeping peacefully. He felt pressured by the crowd, who watched and urged him to kill the elephant. In the end, he says, "I often wondered whether any of the others grasped that I had done it solely to avoid  looking a fool".

A complex sentence has two or more main clauses but no dependent clauses.<br>true or false
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

A sentence can be defined as a group of words that comprises of both a subject and predicate used to convey a logical information. Sentences are classified into four (4) main categories and these includes;

I. Simple sentence.

II. Compound sentence.

III. Complex sentence.

IV. Compound-Complex sentence.

A complex sentence comprises of both an independent clause and a dependent clause. Therefore, a complex sentence has at least one subordinate clause.

Hence, a complex sentence has two or more main clauses and at least one dependent clause.

Additionally, an independent (main) clause can be defined as a clause that expresses a complete thought while standing alone as a simple sentence and comprises of at least a subject and a verb (predicate).

Some examples of an independent clause are;

- She is a wise woman.

- I like her.

- She read the whole novel.

Write a paragraph not more than 100 words on the topic best friend​
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

here :)

Explanation:

(not sure if this will help but here bruh)

Best friends are so much more than a description in a singular paragraph. They are so much more than what we can put into words.  Best friends can be stuffed animals, people, or for the few of us that are antisocial: pets. They can be soulmates, parents, or inanimate objects. No matter <em>what</em> they are, they help us get through hard places in our lives where we feel stuck or upset. For that we sincerely thank all the best friends out there. Cuddly pets or not.
