Hey there!

Compound

Explanation:

It contains a main clause (My family left the fair at 8:00) a conjunction(so) and another main clause (we missed the fireworks display).So it's a compound sentence.

-It can't be a simple sentence because it has a subordinate clause.

-It can't be a compound Complex sentence because it only has 1 main clause and not 2.

-It can't be a complex sentence since it doesn't have a subordinate clause.

Definitions:

A simple sentence has 1 main clause.e.g. The boys fought.

A compound sentence has two main clause E.g. Peter went to the mall and he returned late.

A compound conplex has 2 or more main clauses and 1 or more subordinate clause.E.g. Jude travelled and she brought her cousin to live with her.

A complex sentence has a main clause and a subordinate clause.E.g. The boy bumped into the table and he fell onto the floor.

Note:

A main clause is a group of words that can stand on its own whilst a subordinate clause can't as it doesn't represent a complete idea.

answer; i believe the correct answer is ( indirect characterization);

"the monkey's paw" is a rare story in that the theme is actually stated in the story. sgt. maj. morris tells the whites that the old fakir who put the spell on the paw said, "fate rules people's lives and those who interfere with fate do so to their sorrow." the message is a warning, but mr. white doesn't believe it. even though sgt. maj. morris makes it clear that he tried wishing with unfortunate results and he tries to throw the paw on the fire,   mr. white makes a wish for 200 pounds only to find that he receives the money when herbert dies in a factory accident. according to the fakir, then, because mr. white had wished for something he should not have had, his son lost his life.

the second wish that mrs. white encourages him to make is for herbert's return--one week after his death. when the strange knocking begins at the door during the windy night, mr. white panicks, believing that the previously dead but still mangled herbert could have walked home from the cemetary and is now at the door. because he fears what his wife will find if she opens the door, mr. white makes his third wish--for the noise to stop.

therefore, he uses his three wishes and to his sorrow, loses his son and disappoints his wife, who fervently believed that their son was at the door. she wanted him back, regardless of his condition.
