Answer:

The correct answer is A) The Coliseum in Rome is the structure that used to host gladiatorial combats.

Explanation:

A simple sentence is identifiable when there are three major components:

Subject + Verb + Object.

The Verb + the Object are both known as Predicate.

A ten-word sentence can still be a simple sentence because of the presence of modifiers, compound subjects, and compound verbs/predicates.

An example of a very basic simple sentence is:

Rome hosted combats.

Rome is the subject.

Hosted is the verb

Gladiatorial combats is the object.

The subject becomes a compound one when you add The Coliseum. That is "The Coliseum in Rome is the structure" becomes the subject.

The verb/predicate becomes compounded when you qualify it using:

"that used to"

This makes the "that used to host" a compound verb. Note that the word hosted has changed to host.

The object - Combat has also changed slightly by the presence of a qualifier - and adjective - gladiatorial.

Help please!! Discuss the principles of the Republican Party as expressed by Abraham Lincoln in 1858

ratelena [41]

Answer:

Republicans opposed the extension of slavery

Explanation:

During the political campaign for the Senate in the State of Illinois in 1858, Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglass had a series of debates on important political issues that affected the country in those years. The most important topic; the issue of slavery. Historians consider these debates as one of the most interesting due to the kind of arguments both candidates expressed. The Republican Party that Abraham Lincoln represented, was in favor of abolitionism. In those years, the country was very divided between the southerners that supported slavery because the economy of the south depended on slaves to work in the large plantations to produce crops and the northerners that were against slavery and favored abolitionism. Lincoln opposed slavery into other northern states, and that is what he expressed during the debates.
