An old monkey on the point of death summoned his sons around him to give them some parting advice. He ordered them to bring in a

bundle of sticks, and said to his eldest son: "Break it." The son strained and strained, but with all his efforts was unable to break the sticks. The other sons also tried, but none of them was successful. "Untie the bundle," said the father, "and each of you take a stick." When they had done so, he called out to them: "Now, break," and each stick was easily broken. "You
see my meaning," said their father.

What was the father’s meaning? _______________________________

Answer:

He teaches them, though each can be overcome alone, they are invincible combined.

Explanation:

Having bound a bundle of sticks together (or in other accounts either spears or arrows), he asks his sons to break them. When they fail, he undoes the bundle and either breaks each stick singly or gets his sons to do so. In the same way he teaches them, though each can be overcome alone, they are invincible combined.

Hope this helps!

Which of the following is a complex sentence?
Flauer [41]
In my opinion, the correct answer is <span>C. As Jake was reading the email from June yet again, the flight attendant coughed gently to get his attention. 

A complex sentence has one independent clause (that can stand on its own), and two or more dependent (subordinate) clauses. In this case, the independent clause is "the flight attendant coughed gently to get his attention". The dependent one starts with a subordinator "as". The other options are compound sentences - made of two or more independent clauses which are connected with coordinators (but, and).</span>
