Answer and Explanation:

1. Vera tells Mr. Nuttel the scary story, just for fun. She realized how much control she has over people when she lies and as a way to distract herself from her monotonous routine, she decided to lie compulsively and as discreetly as possible to see people's reactions and have fun at their expense.

2. It was wrong to deceive Mr. Nuttel, primarily because we should not use people for our entertainment, moreover, Mr. Nuttel did not have a nervous disorder that was aggravated by Vera's behavior and this type of disturbance is very agonizing and harmful to someone.

Which type of sentence is this? As Jim sat down on the rickety old chair, it abruptly collapsed beneath him.
lukranit [14]

Answer:

Complex sentence.  

Explanation:

A complex sentence contains one independent clause and one or more dependant clauses.

An independent clause can stand on its own. The information in it makes sense and does not need extra information to understand its meaning.

A dependant clause can not stand on its own. If we read a dependant clause alone, some information is missing, and we cannot fully understand the meaning of this clause.

In this case, the independent clause is -It abruptly collapsed beneath him- and the dependant clause is - As Jim sat down on the rickety old chair-. We can see that the dependant clause is missing information and that it contains the word as, which is a subordinating conjunction that links the clauses and is present in dependant clauses.
