In the great moonlight clearings I slunk along
among the shadows on the margin. In the
jungle I crept forward, stopping with a
beating heart whenever I heard, as I often
did, the crash of breaking branches as some
wild beast went past. Now and then great
shadows loomed up for an instant and were
gone-great, silent shadows which seemed to
prowl upon padded feet.

Claims sometimes stand alone and at other times are part of a series (of claims and subclaims). In effect, the "thesis" of a work or part of a work is a kind of claim (we might say that the overall thesis is the "main claim"). It is important that you know when are making claims and what kinds of claims you are making.

Read the passage and answer the question.

[1]Nothing that comes from the desert expresses its extremes better than the unhappy growth of the
tree yuccas.Tormented, thin forests of it stalk drearily in the high mesas, particularly in that
triangular slip that fans out eastward from the meeting of the Sierras and coastwise hills. The
yucca bristles with bayonet-pointed leaves, dull green, growing shaggy with age like an old
[5] man's tangled gray beard, tipped with panicles of foul, greenish blooms. After its death, which is
slow, the ghostly hollow network of its woody skeleton, with hardly power to rot, makes even
the moonlight fearful. But it isn't always this way. Before the yucca has come to flower, while
yet its bloom is a luxurious, creamy, cone-shaped bud of the size of a small cabbage, full of
sugary sap, the Indians twist it deftly out of its fence of daggers and roast the prize for their
[10] own delectation.

Why does the author use the words "bayonet-pointed" (line 4) and "fence of daggers" (line 9) to describe the leaves of the yucca tree?

To create an image of the sharp edges of the plant
To emphasize how beautiful the plant's leaves are

ROMEO: I must indeed; and therefore came I hither.
Good gentle youth, tempt not a desperate man;
Fly hence, and leave me: think upon these gone;
Let them affright thee. I beseech thee, youth,
Put not another sin upon my head,
By urging me to fury: O, be gone!
By heaven, I love thee better than myself;
For I come hither arm'd against myself:
Stay not, be gone; live, and hereafter say,
A madman's mercy bade thee run away.

13.England scored 350 runs in 50 overs, but team India easily chased the target.​

Answers

Answer:

- She was looking upset that day as her friends hadn't come to see her. -->  complex sentence.

1. She was looking upset that day --> main clause

2. as her friends hadn't come to see her --> subordinate clause

- England scored 350 runs in 50 overs, but team India easily chased the target. --> compound sentence

1. England scored 350 runs in 50 overs --> independent clause

2. but team India easily chased the target --> independent clause

Explanation:

The best way to identify what type of sentence we are dealing with is by looking for clauses. A clause will have a subject and a predicate. Once we find it, we need to identify what type of clause it is.

To do that, we can look for conjunctions, which are words that connect the different clauses and establish a relationship between them. A coordinating conjunction will connect two independent clauses and create a compound sentence. Since there is only a few of them, they are easy to memorize by using the acronym FANBOYS (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, and so). Notice that in the second sentence we analyzed above, we have the conjunction "but".

A subordinating conjunction connects a main clause to a subordinate clause and creates a complex sentence. In the first sentence we analyzed above, we have the conjunction "as" introducing an explanation.

D. Working hard in school will always pay off in the end.

Explanation:

School leavers and drop outs are the students who do not complete their school studies. They either leave the studies by their will or do not pay attention to the studies so schools take action against them. They may find it suitable option to leave the school without completing their studies but later in life they will regret their decision because they will not be able to finance their basic needs as they might not have reputable job with a handsome salary.
