<em>“The inflated style itself is a kind of euphemism. A mass of Latin words falls upon the facts like soft snow, blurring the outline and covering up all the details. The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one’s real and one’s declared aims, one turns as it were instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish spurting out ink. In our age there is no such thing as ‘keeping out of politics.’ All issues are political issues, and politics itself is a mass of lies, evasions, folly, hatred, and schizophrenia. When the general atmosphere is bad, language must suffer. I should expect to find — this is a guess which I have not sufficient knowledge to verify — that the German, Russian and Italian languages have all deteriorated in the last ten or fifteen years, as a result of dictatorship.”</em>
Answer:
The missing question is Which sentence from the passage is complex?
The answer is: The panther crept into a cave because it was afraid.
Explanation:
A complex sentence has an independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. Independent clauses are the ones that have meaning on their own so, they can stand alone as sentences. On the other hand, dependent clauses can not stand alone; they need the support of another clause to make sense.
In the sentence <em>"The panther crept into a cave because it was afraid."</em> the independent clause is <em>The panther crept into a cave </em>while the dependent clause is <em>because it was afraid</em>. The word "<em>because</em>" is subordinating conjunction since it is a word that connects the two clauses.
