Tents kept the rides in great condition during extreme weather. The fair setup began late in July, and it ended at the beginning of September. When fairgoers bought tickets, they often purchased too many. Although some people got sick from riding, the extreme roller coaster was popular, and there was always a very long line. are these simple, compound, complex, or compound-complex

Answers

Answer:

1. Tents kept the rides in great condition during extreme weather. - Simple

2. The fair setup began late in July, and it ended at the beginning of September. - Compound

3. When fair-goers bought tickets, they often purchased too many. - Complex

4. Although some people got sick from riding, the extreme roller coaster was popular, and there was always a very long line. - Compound-complex

Explanation:

1. A simple sentence is constituted of a single independent clause. It has a subject and a predicate, and it expresses a complete thought.

2. A compound sentence is formed by joining two independent clauses. We connect them by using a coordinating conjunction - for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so.

3. A complex sentence is formed by joining an independent clause and a dependent one. A dependent clause needs the independent one to give it context, so that it makes sense. Subordinating conjunctions should be used, such as when, where, if, though, etc.

4. A compound-complex sentence is formed by two independent clauses and a dependent one, at least.

Read this excerpt from “The Tell-Tale Heart” by Edgar Allan Poe. Then fill in the blanks in the paragraph that follows.

TRUE! — nervous — very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad? The disease had sharpened my senses — not destroyed — not dulled them. Above all was the sense of hearing acute. I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in hell. How, then, am I mad? Hearken! and observe how healthily — how calmly I can tell you the whole story.

It is impossible to say how first the idea entered my brain; but once conceived, it haunted me day and night. Object there was none. Passion there was none. I loved the old man. He had never wronged me. He had never given me insult. For his gold I had no desire. I think it was his eye! yes, it was this! He had the eye of a vulture — a pale blue eye, with a film over it. Whenever it fell upon me, my blood ran cold; and so by degrees — very gradually — I made up my mind to take the life of the old man, and thus rid myself of the eye forever.

In these opening lines, the reader is presented with a narrator who wants to kill "the old man" because of his eye. The author uses the lines to present a _____
conflict. Based on this excerpt, this stage of the plot is most likely to occur in
________.

Blank A - A character versus self, A character versus nature, A character versus society
Blank B - the climax, the falling action, the resolution, the exposition

Answers

Answer:

A character versus self

Climax

Explanation:

According to the excerpt from “The Tell-Tale Heart” by Edgar Allan Poe, it is narrated that the main character has conflicting thoughts within him about the old man. He said he was not motivated by money or any mundane reason but because he didn't like the eyes of the old man so he took his life.

Therefore, that point in the narration shows a character vs self conflict from the narrator and occurred during the climax.

What is the most likely reason the author includes paragraph 4 in the selection? Cite evidence from the selection to support your answer.

Answers

The author probably includes paragraph 4 to demonstrate how Douglass learned how to read (by giving bread to children and having them teach him in return. Evidence:

“As many of these as I could, I converted into teachers.”

“The bread I used to bestow upon the hungry little urchins, who, in return, would give me that more valuable bread of knowledge.”

Answer:

I think that the author included this to show how much he wanted to read and be free to do it.

Explanation:

The last sentences where it says "Have I not as good a right to be free as you have?", "As many as I could, I converted into teachers," "..would give me that more valuable bread of knowledge" show that he wanted to learn and that he wanted to be free. He has given bread to learn how to read.
