A simple sentence is one that simply states a sentence with a single clause, a subject, and a verb.

Compound sentences have two or more clauses joined together by the conjunctions "for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so" (FANBOYS).

Complex sentences are almost similar to compound sentences except that they are joined not with the FANBOYS but subordinate conjunctions.

Compound-complex sentences are those sentences that are similar to complex sentences but added with another simple or compound sentence added to the sentence.

In the given sentences, sentence 1 is a simple sentence for it simply states a statement.

Sentence 2 and 3 are complex sentences as they are joined by the subordinating conjunctions "because" and "even though".

Sentence 4 is a compound sentence as it is joined by the coordinating conjunctions "but" and "so".

Sentence 5 is a compound-complex sentence as it has both subordinating conjunction "because" and coordinating conjunction "so".

How does Columbus’s description of the Caribbean islands reflect Spain’s motivations for sending him there? Suppose Columbus simply had complete freedom to explore the world without specific goals in mind. How would that have affected his observations? How might it have affected world history? Express your opinions and provide specific predictions if possible.

Answers

Answer:

Columbus's description of the Caribbean islands that reflect on Spain's motivations was:

"On August 3, 1492, Columbus set sail from Spain to find an all-water route to Asia. On October 12, more than two months later, Columbus landed on an island in the Bahamas that he called San Salvador; the natives called it Guanahani."

Columbus left a few men there to settle down and see if it was livable for people that were from Spain. He wrote a letter to the king and queen of Spain and told them about the Caribbean islands.  

Explanation:

I hope this helped you out. I gave you a quote to give you a better understanding of it.

What is a adverb, a preposition, and a adverb??? ​

Answers

Answer:

A prepositional and adverb is a word mainly a particle that is very similar in its form to a preposition but functions as an adverb occur for example in English, German they occur mainly at the end of a phrase and not before nouns

Explanation:

hope it helps

Answer:

An adverb is a word or an expression that modifies a verb, adjective, another adverb, determiner, clause, preposition, or sentence. Adverbs typically express manner, place, time, frequency, degree, level of certainty, etc.

A preposition is a word or group of words used before a noun, pronoun, or noun phrase to show direction, time, place, location, spatial relationships, or to introduce an object.

An adverb is a word that modifies (describes) a verb (he sings loudly), an adjective (very tall), another adverb (ended too quickly), or even a whole sentence (Fortunately, I had brought an umbrella). Adverbs often end in -ly, but some (such as fast) look exactly the same as their adjective counterparts.

How would the story most likely be different if it were told from Jason’s point of view? A. It would tell what happens when he gets to school. B. It would include additional characters. C. It would show Jason's thoughts and feelings. D. It would describe Jason's room in more detail.

Answers

Answer:

C. It would show Jason's thoughts and feelings.

Explanation:

You haven't provided information about what story the given question refers to, but I can answer your question anyway.

If a story is told from the protagonist's perspective, it's told from the first-person point of view. This type of point of view is characterized by the use of first-person pronouns I and we and pronouns derived from them. When we're reading a story written like this, we are observing events from the protagonist's eyes and have insight into their thoughts and feeling.

Based on this information, we can determine that the correct option is option C. The rest of the options are incorrect because those effects can be achieved by the use of the third-person point of view.
