Answer: The author explains that he is a man of integrity in order to show why the school's reactions were excessive and wrong.
Explanation:
Vonnegut defends his integrity to show that having his book and his entire work deemed as evil was wrong. He presents his actions after the burning of his books, doing "absolutely nothing to exploit the disgusting
news from Drake," as evidence of his integrity. Furthermore, he describes himself as a loving father and an honored veteran to better support his argument.

A compound sentence is made up of two or more simple sentences joined with a conjunction.
Complex sentences must include at least one dependent clause introduced by a subordinating conjunction or a relative pronoun and an independent clause.
A compound-complex sentence has one complex sentence joined to a simple sentence with a conjunction.
Therefore, the sentence, "because our favorite restaurant was closed, we decided to cook dinner at home." is a complex sentence. This is the correct answer because the dependent clause, "because our favorite restaurant was closed" was introduced by the subordinating conjunction, "because". It also has an independent clause, "we decided to cook dinner at home."
<span>Option D is the correct choice. It indicates, better than the other options, how the narrator is unable to enjoy a simple nights rest. The usage of "alas" shows that this was the final straw in the torment, not being able to sleep anymore. Compared to option A where the narrator is still able to state clearly that they are not mad. Option B only shows a dislike which doesn't stress the torment requirement from the question. Option C does show torment but it more so indicates the early stages of this happening.</span>
