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.

Answer:

The significance of the phrase is:

C. ironically shows a rich man needing a wife, when women in those days needed one more significantly for financial stability.

Explanation:

This is the opening line in Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice". The whole idea of a rich man needing a wife as a universal truth is ironic, and Austen's novel is proof of that. The whole plot is based on women searching for potential husbands as a means to secure their financial stability. Of course, that was never the purpose of the main character and her favorite sister, who would both much rather marry for love than for money. Still, they end up marrying extremely wealthy man who, in a sense, rescue them from being left in a dire situation once their father comes to die. Their mother and sisters, on the other hand, do not share their ideology, and openly look for matches that are well settled in life to provide for them.

Allushta [10]

Let's go through the options: A. She sleeps on the tiny old, bed in the guest bedroom. - here there should be no comma between "old" and "bed" - old describes the bed! B. She sleeps on the tiny old bed in the guest bedroom - here, we need a comma between the two adjectives, "tiny" and "old"!. C. She sleeps on the tiny, old, bed in the guest bedroom - here, again the comma between "old" and "bed" is wrong. D. She sleeps on the tiny, old bed in the guest bedroom- this is a correct sentence and the correct option!.
