Which type of sentence is this? As Jim sat down on the rickety old chair, it abruptly collapsed beneath him.

English

Answer:

Complex sentence.  

Explanation:

A complex sentence contains one independent clause and one or more dependant clauses.

An independent clause can stand on its own. The information in it makes sense and does not need extra information to understand its meaning.

A dependant clause can not stand on its own. If we read a dependant clause alone, some information is missing, and we cannot fully understand the meaning of this clause.

In this case, the independent clause is -It abruptly collapsed beneath him- and the dependant clause is - As Jim sat down on the rickety old chair-. We can see that the dependant clause is missing information and that it contains the word as, which is a subordinating conjunction that links the clauses and is present in dependant clauses.

Read the excerpt from chapter 10 of Animal Farm.
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

The reader knows that Mr. Pilkington is praising a  flawed and brutal system.

Explanation:

Dramatic irony is when the audience or readers know something about the scene and would expect it to happen which the characters in the story or scene seem to have no idea. The speech and behavior of the characters will contradict the upcoming event, which the readers or viewers can predict but not by the characters in the story.

In the given excerpt from chapter 10 from “Animal Farm” by George Orwell, we see Mr. Pilkington give a speech about how much he and his human friends have regarded the way Animal Farm was run by Napoleon. He is seen praising the brutal system that was the basis of how the farm was run and also promised that he along with his fellow humans will institute the same system in their own farms. And through his speech,<u> we as readers, know that Mr. Pilkington was praising a system that is both brutal and flawed. </u>

Write a paragraph about your favorite food using the 5 senses and sensory detail.

I love apple pie. The smell of cinnamon, apples and the dough combined is simply lovely. The way the lattices are interlaced and form this beautiful parrtern is very impressive. The sound of a knife cutting through the crumbly crust, the soft filling and the crust again is very pleasnt for me. Seeing the piece of pie getting closer to my face is a dream come true, the smell hits me and the feeling of recently made pie is undescibable. The complex taste that it has is breath taking.
