Answer:

As much as water is an endangered resource, we cannot live without it.

Explanation:

A compound sentence is a sentence that has two independent clauses, meaning there should be a conjunction to connect the two clauses (FANBOYS) or a semicolon.

A complex sentence has one independent clause and one dependent clause.

Note that independent clauses can stand alone as a sentence, meaning they have both a subject and a predicate.

On the other hand, a dependent clause can not stand alone as a sentence, has both a subject and verb, and will most often start with a subordinating conjunction.

<u>We have the sentence:</u>

Water is an endangered resource and we cannot live without it.

<u>We can make it:</u>

As much as water is an endangered resource, we cannot live without it.

As much as is the subordinating conjunction that makes the first clause dependent.

"We cannot live without it" is the independent clause.

You can remove "As much as" and replace it with any subordinating conjunction that makes sense, it's just hard to find a perfect replacement for the conjunction "and."

Paragraph writing A pleasant day in winter
lys-0071 [83]

Out of all the seasons, winter is my favorite season. Firstly, every school announces holidays when the winter season is at its peak so it gives me an excellent time to enjoy this season to its fullest. I get to sleep in my warm blanket without having to worry about getting up early in the morning. In morning, it is all foggy on the road and fumes come out of mouth when we speak.

I love to go for long walk when sun is at its peak and breathe fresh air. When there is heavy snowfall in my area and I am unable to go outside then I prefer to stay at home and read books while enjoying my hot chocolate. The beautiful sight of snow falling down the trees is very exciting to watch from my window. I really enjoy this moment.

Winter season gives me an opportunity to spend plenty of time with my friends and family. Every year, community members arrange several sports activities in my area so that everyone can take part in sports. These activities include skating, skiing, ice hockey and ice racing. There is also a competition of creating best ice sculptures and the one who wins gets a trophy.

I also take part in this competition and I have won twice. I also enjoy snow fights with my friends. Everyone around me is busy in making his own perfect snowman. I also get plenty of time to play many indoor games with my siblings including table tennis, badminton and squash.

Another thing that I like about winter season is that I get to eat all my favorite fruits including apples, guava, oranges and pomegranate. I have developed a habit of eating fruits every morning to keep my body healthy and energetic. I also love to sit with my family on a bright sunny day and eat oranges.

There is nothing more exciting than eating oranges while soaking sun on winters while having a talk session with family. I put on warm clothes and sit in the sun for hours. My mother also makes stews and soups for us every night to keep our body warm. I also love to eat dry fruits in this season including almonds, pistachio and walnut. On weekends, my family also arrange gatherings.

We spend really good time by doing bonfires, barbeque and drinking coffee. Every year, my grandma knits colorful sweaters and hand gloves for me and my siblings to bear severe cold. I love these sweaters and flaunt them in front of my friends proudly.

Another amazing thing about winters is that so many exciting festivals and cultural events occur in this season like Diwali, Eid and Christmas. These festivals bring holiday spirit in me.

I anxiously wait for these festivals to enjoy and celebrate with my family. I also make sure to distribute warm clothes among poor people with my family too especially during these festivals.

It is very difficult for those poor people to survive in such cold weather. They do not have enough warm blankets and clothes. It is important to help them too.
