A sentence can be defined as a group of words that comprises of both a subject and predicate used to convey a logical information. Sentences are classified into four (4) main categories and these includes;

I. Simple sentence.

II. Compound sentence.

III. Complex sentence.

IV. Compound-Complex sentence.

A compound sentence can be defined as a type of sentence that comprises a minimum of two independent clause which are joined together by a coordinating conjunction or semicolon. Thus, a compound sentence is made up of independent clauses having related ideas.

A coordinating conjunction can be defined as a word that is used for joining two words, phrases or sentences having similar grammatical rank and are syntactically equal.

An independent clause can be defined as a clause that expresses a complete thought while standing alone as a simple (complete) sentence and comprises at least a subject and a verb (predicate).

On a related note, each half of a compound sentence must be able to stand alone as a simple (complete) sentence. Thus, a compound sentence doesn't contain any dependent clauses.

"The environment is the sum of all conditions and elements that make up the surroundings."

Hence, the above sentence is an example of a compound sentence.

What does the Audience learn about Odysseus from his encounters with his shipmate Elpenor and his mother anticlea

Hi There! :)

What does the Audience learn about Odysseus from his encounters with his shipmate Elpenor and his mother anticlea?

Odysseus and his crew sail to the region of the Men of Winter and, per Kirke's instructions, make a ritual sacrifice for Teiresias. While waiting for Teiresias, Odysseus cuts down the other phantoms that emerge, including Elpenor, who had fallen from Kirke's roof. Odysseus promises him a proper sailor's burial back on Kirke's island. He also sees his dead mother, Antikleia. Odysseus thought his mother was alive so he is pretty sad and begins to cry.
