Which of the following is a complex sentence? A. Eileen bought pants but not a new jacket.
B. Sue gave Jim a new racket, and he left for the tennis courts.
C. Mark wanted blueberry pie and vanilla ice cream.
D. As I expected, she showed up late.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: For this I would choose the first choice, A. "Eileen bought pants but not a new jacket."

A complex sentence is formed by an independent and a dependent clause. An independent clause is a part of a sentence that can still be a sentence on it's own. For example, "Eileen bought pants." could be a valid sentence. 

A dependent clause is the opposite, and is a part of a sentence that can not still be a sentence on it's own. "But not a new jacket." is not a valid sentence.

I hope this was helpful.

Genealogists consider old family records fascinating.How does the word fascinating function in the sentence?
objective complement
predicate adjective
indirect object
predicate nominative

Answers

Answer:

The answer to your question would be that fascinating functions as an objective complement.

Explanation:

An object complement, also called objective complement, follows a direct object. It may be a word or phrase that gives further meaning to the direct object.  What is more, an object complement can be a noun, a pronoun or an adjective. In the sentence above, the adjective fascinating is the adjective giving further meaning to the D.O, which is old family records.
The correct answer is 'object complement' because it completes the object, which in this sentence is 'old family records'.

The setting of small fires was a common way to clear forest land for
farming and railroad construction. The whole summer of 1871 was
unusually dry, and all the trees and grass were unusually flammable.
The high winds that blew in with a cold front on October 8 of that year
whipped up many small fires into a single enormous one, which killed
between 1,500 and 2,500 people. 

That was the same day as the great Chicago fire, and there were also
major fires on the same day on the other side of Lake Michigan, that
destroyed large parts of towns in Michigan.
