Answer:

It began its development with the velocipedes or bone-shakers of the nineteenth century, so it has a 200-year pedigree.

Yet even then riding was still unaffordable for the great majority of people, and it would take many years before bikes became cheap enough for all.

Explanation:

Compound sentences are sentences that consist of two or more independent clauses connected by a comma and conjunction or by a semicolon. There are only seven coordinating conjunctions:<em> for, and, nor, but, or, yet, </em>and <em>so.</em>

An independent clause is a clause that can stand alone as a sentence. Every sentence must contain a subject and predicate and express a complete thought. Unlike independent clauses, dependent (subordinate) clauses don't fulfill these criteria, which is why they can't stand alone as sentences.

This means that you need to choose sentences that consist of more than one independent clause and no subordinate clauses. These sentences are:

  • <u>It began its development with the velocipedes or bone-shakers of the nineteenth century</u>, so <u>it has a 200-year pedigree</u>.
  • <u>Yet even then riding was still unaffordable for the great majority of people</u>, and <u>it would take many years before bikes became cheap enough for all.</u>

The underlined parts are independent clauses that make up these sentences.

PLS HELP ASAP THIS IS DUE TODAY. Write a sonnet about nature .​
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

(NOT MY SONNET)

Explanation:

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?

Thou art more lovely and more temperate:

Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,

And summer’s lease hath all too short a date:

Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,

And often is his gold complexion dimm’d;

And every fair from fair sometime declines,

By chance, or nature’s changing course, untrimm’d;

But thy eternal summer shall not fade

Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st;

Nor shall Death brag thou wander’st in his shade,

When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st;

So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,

So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
