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.

How do you identify the speakers purpose

<span>By listening. Listening is difficult because it requires people to pay attention to the person they are listening to. With all the different distractions we have nowadays, listening is very hard because we need to give our time, effort and be genuine at the same time when a person is talking. To listen is a form of respect. We have two ears and a mouth and one of the reasons is that we need to listen more instead of talking. In listening, this is where we challenged ourselves to be more open to ideas.</span>

14.<br> Why are there ellipses "..." in line 12?
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

Writers use ellipses for various reasons. An ellipsis can indicate the omission of words in the middle of a quoted sentence or the omission of sentences within a quoted paragraph. And in creative writing, the ellipsis might indicate that the speaker has trailed off and left a sentence or thought unfinished.

What is a theme in Dwight Okita’s poem "In Response to Executive Order 9066"?
tester [92]

Okita, Dwight. “Best Friends EO9066 Response.” U.S. National Park Service – Experience Your America. U.S Department of Interior. Web. 18 May 2011.

In this essay, written by Dwight Okita, it is clear that the narrator, a young 14 year-old girl, doesn’t realize what’s happening and that her family will be deported to relocation centers for being of Japanese descent. The cause of this was the current battling during World War II between U.S.A. and Japan. Clearly, Denise, who is white and the girl’s best friend, was probably told by an adult about the American vs. Japanese matters, and mistreats the girl for this “She was sitting on the other side of the room. “You’re trying to start a war,” she said, ´giving secrets away to the Enemy. Why can’t you keep your big mouth shut?´” The author clearly addresses the themes of discrimination towards the Japanese and the innocence of a child. This last theme is also a memorable characteristic of the text, since a child narrator gives the text innocence and some ignorance, all with a child’s perspective. Both the themes and titles make it clear “In Response to Executive Order 9066: All Americans of Japanese Descent Must Report to Relocation Centers” is useful when researching the topic of discrimination
