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

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.

Question 1
KatRina [158]
1. In the first paragraph above Lincoln is making the war against the Southern states a moral war. He thought, in order to preserve the Union, to even allow the dissenting states to keep the slavery if that meant not abandoning the Union. But now here he says that he was wrong and that he is fully committed to not only reuniting the United States but also to abolishing slavery.

2. Lincoln here identifies as the commander-in-chief to clearly state that he is in charge and he is making this proclamation with the full power vested in him by the constitution. He is also doing that with the aim of restoring the public spirit and showing people that everything is under control by being the pillar of stability. He with the power vested in him will appeal to congress and ask for the abolishment of slavery in all the states that are in open rebellion against the United States. That can be seen in this passage: 
<span>
<em>That the executive will, on the first day of January aforesaid, by proclamation, designate the States, and part of States, if any, in which the people thereof respectively, shall then be in rebellion against the United States</em></span><em> </em>
