Depends on the context of how your using it; it can mean eaten away/destroyed or to form
Answer 4 cannot be it right off the bat, since compound-compound doesn't exist.
If a compound - complex sentence loses the dependent clause, it is no longer complex, since complex sentences require a dependent and to independent clauses conjoined with a comma and conjunction such as "and". So answer 3 can not be it.
So that leaves either simple or compound.
The sentence is still contains an independent clause from when it was compound-complex, therefore answer 2, compound, is the answer.
Hi!
In paragraph 2, Fitzgerald personifies the Georgia city as sleeping because <u>this suggests that nothing lively has really ever occured in the city</u>.
Fitzgerald starts his first paragraph by describing the character Jim as <u>boring</u>. He uses words like "bred-in-the-bone" and "dyed-in-the-wool" which depict him as a dull chacter. Then he proceeds to describes his hometown and he refers to it as "a place that has been "sleepily" for "forty thousand years". With all this context in consideration, it's easy to infer that Fitzgerald is describing the city as boring and uneventful as Jim.
Therefore,<u> the answer is C</u>, <u>"nothing lively has really ever occurred in the city"</u>.
Yes! People have bad days. For example I’ve been angry at someone for being in my way before and then realized later that I was just in a bad mood and wouldn’t normally get mad at them.
