Research can be tricky because you need to plan. You must know what your topic is and what your stance is on that topic. You can then create a chart that has your thesis statement in one box, and your topics in three different boxes thereby as you research, you can put the information you find in those boxes. For example: Let's say you are researching the effects of smoking. Your thesis statement would say something like: Smoking is harmful for your health because it can stunt your growth, cause cancer, and cost several hundred dollars a year.
Then as you research, you would note supporting details (facts) for how is 1. stunts your growth, 2. causes cancer, and 3. costs money.
So....you should keep notes about your topics for your body paragraphs.
An independent clause and a dependent clause.
An independent clause is a clause that can stand alone as a sentence (i.e., it expresses a complete thought). However, a dependent clause (or subordinate clause) is one that cannot stand alone as a complete sentence because it does not express a complete thought. Cause it is not a complete thought, it is dependent on being attached to an independent clause to form a sentence. The link between a dependent clause and an independent clause will often be a subordinating conjunction or a relative pronoun.
Answer:
A conjunction
Explanation:
In order to make a compound sentence, two independent clauses need to be joined with a conjuction. Use the abbreviation FANBOYS to help remember some common conjunctions.
F- For
A- And
N- Nor
B- But
O- Or
Y- Yet
S- So

I think it is because Balboa considers himself a great explorer like Cristobal Colon (Cristopher Columbus) and Vespucci and the Pizarro brothers. the Of course Cristobal Colon discovered the Americas as did Vespucci whose first name was Amerigo so America was named after him. The Pizarro brothers discovered Peru with its' riches of gold and silver and the empire of the Incas.,Balboa was the first explorer to reach the Pacific Ocean by land over the isthmus of Panama. He later founded a settlement in Panama.
