Read the excerpt from the general prolgue to the canterbury tales.
she used to wipe her upper lip so clean,
no print of grease inside her cup was seen,
not the least speck, when she had drunk from it.
most daintily she’d reach for what she ate.
no question, she possessed the greatest charm,
her demeanor was so pleasant, and so warm;
though at pains to ape the manners of the court,
and be dignified, in order to be thought
a person well deserving of esteem.
but, speaking of her sensibility,
she was so full of charity and pity
that if she saw a mouse caught in a trap,
and it was dead or bleeding, she would weep.
which of the underlined words best the reader understand what the nun is like? check all that apply.
daintily
greatest charm
pleasant
speaking
dead or bleeding

sentences vary by structure as well as by function. there are compound, complex, and compound-complex sentences.

simple sentence

i like to read.

a simple sentence has one independent clause.

compound sentence

i like to read, and i also like to write.

a compound sentence includes more than one independent clause, connected by a coordinating conjunction (and, but, for, nor, or, so, or yet).

complex sentence

i prefer to read books that are bestsellers.

a complex sentence includes one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. (a dependent clause is one that cannot stand alone.) types of dependent clauses include relative clauses (i kicked the boy who pinched me), adverb clauses (i am going home now because i have a curfew), and noun clauses (i don't know what to do next).

compound-complex sentence

although i prefer to read current bestsellers, i do like to read old agatha christie mysteries, and i also like some 20th-century science fiction.

compound-complex sentences take a bunch of clauses (multiple independent clauses, and one or more dependent clauses) and toss them together like a salad. although these sentences take practice to write in a grammatically correct fashion, they can hold a tremendous amount of meaning, and are common in academic writing.
