Which sentence from the passage helps the reader predict what will happen next? In 1995, Captain G. R. Gopinath, a retired military officer, had a chance encounter with an unemployed helicopter pilot. As a result, he set up India’s first helicopter company. It wasn’t easy. He spent three years lobbying the government agencies to get the right licenses. He sold everything he owned and even mortgaged his house to raise the money.
Even during the worst times, he never had any doubt that he would succeed in starting India’s first helicopter service. He always knew the money would come, and indeed, it did. His business took off, and that allowed him to pursue a new vision – cheap airline flights. Why should Indians have to travel their vast country on trains and busses when Americans got on planes? He lobbied the government to relax regulations and used the internet to cut booking costs.

explanation:

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.

remember, the goal of an adjective clause is to add more information to a noun or a pronoun. as you can see from the examples above, you can add information by including a longer adjective clause or tighten up a sentence by turning the adjective clause into an adjective phrase.
