Answer:
A. People who are awake when the speaker sleeps.
Explanation:
The poem "My Bed is a Boat" by Robert Louis Stevenson is a four-lined four-stanza poem that describes the very childlike scene for a child to sleep. Describing his bed as a boat, he fantasizes that sleeping is like sailing on a journey, which is a rather exciting way for a child to view sleep.
This children poetry simplifies the theme of sleeping and captures the childish nature of how sleep can be imagined as. The narrator of the poem is a small child who looks forward to sailing. He begins the poem by saying that "My bed is like a little boat; Nurse helps me in when I embark; She girds me in my sailor's coat And starts me in the dark." This childhood imagination of the very act of sleeping makes it more fun and exciting unlike the ordinary way of putting a child to bed. The second stanza reads "At night I go on board and say Good-night to all my friends on shore" which might be suggestive of the child bidding goodnight to those who are still awake. Children go to sleep before the adults so, the child narrator may have been talking about the adults who are still awake when he had to go to sleep.
Incomplete question. The full question read;
Identify the sentence type for each sentence.
- We visited the shelter where many animals are waiting for homes.
- We petted the cats, and they purred while the dogs barked in the other room.
- The dogs wanted to play, and we took them to a dog park.
- We spent an hour at the park, which was packed, and then we left.
<u>Explanation:</u>
1. <u>COMPLEX SENTENCE.</u> Note, a complex sentence is one that has an independent clause and may also have one or more dependent clauses. From the sentence,
- the part that contains the Independent clause is: <em>we visited the shelter. </em>
- the part that contains the dependent clause: <em>where many animals are waiting for homes.</em>
Note also that, a dependent clause is a clause that cannot stand on its own; since it does <u>not </u>express a complete thought.
2. <u>COMPOUND-COMPLEX SENTENCE:</u> Note, a compound-complex sentence is one that usually <u>has at least 2</u> independent clauses and at least one dependent clause. Because the sentences are usually longer, conjunction, comma, or semi colon is are used to link up the independent and dependent clauses together.
3. COMPOUND SENTENCE. This sentence, although not a compound-complex, but <u>only a compound sentence.</u> A conjunction "and" is used to link the clauses together.
4. <u>COMPOUND-COMPLEX SENTENCE:</u> We note the following;
- the part that contains the Independent clause is: <em>We spent an hour at the park.
</em>
- the part that contains the dependent clause is: <em>Which was packed, and then we left.
</em>
- the part that contains the conjunction is:<em> "and"</em>
