Hello, so the verb is the action and the compound subject is going to be
our second subject in the sentence. To distinguish whether it is
corresponding or not we are going to make sure that it is in the right tense, person, etc.
So lets look at our options
Our
first sentence has the first subject plural but not the second subject,
and an improper use of the verb making this sentence grammatically incorrect.
Our second sentence the verb and compound correspond correctly so no mistakes here.
The third sentence we are distinguishing whether we use begun or began. Began is past tense and begun is past participle.
The last sentence is grammatically incorrect because the action/verb 'stores' does not correspond with our compound subject.
So that leaves us with the answer being B.
I hope I helped! If you have any other questions or would like further explanation please let me know! :)
D. None of the above
The reason why this would be the answer is because tone is how the author expresses their attitude throughout the story. There is no option that relates to this, so the answer would be D.
The correct answer is D. Compound-complex sentence
Explanation:
Complex sentences different from simple or compound sentences always include a dependent clause connected to an independent clause. In the case of the sentence presented "Before the car wash" is the dependent clause because this does not express a complete idea and includes the word "before" that is a subordinating conjunction and "Tanya made signs and Gabe signed up volunteers" is the independent clause as this expresses a complete thought. Besides this, a sentence is compound if two ideas of the same importance are included and joined by a conjunction such as and, or, but, which occurs in "Tanya made signs and Gabe signed up volunteers". This means the sentence includes the elements of a complex sentence (independent-dependent clause) and a compound sentence (two independent clauses) and therefore it is a compound-complex sentence.
