sentence 2: because he practices for hours a day, michael is an expert tennis player.

which option most accurately describes the difference between the structures of the two sentences?

a) the sentences approach the topic in different ways.
b) the sentences use different conjunctions to connect ideas.
c) sentence 1 is a simple sentence; sentence 2 is a compound sentence.
d) sentence 1 is a compound sentence; sentence 2 is a complex sentence.

The correct answer is D. Sentence 1 is a compound sentence; Sentence 2 is a complex sentence.

Explanation:

A compound sentence is one that contains two or more ideas of the same importance linked by a semicolon or coordinating conjunctions such as and, or, but, so. On the other hand, a complex sentence contains ideas that do not have the same importance because one idea is independent or complete and the other is dependent of the independent idea, also, these are linked by subordinating conjunctions such as when, because, although, until, etc.

In the case of the sentences presented the first sentence is compound because it relates both ideas using the conjunction "and" which makes both sentences have the same importance. On the other hand, the second sentence is complex because the use of the conjunction "because" makes the sentence "Because he practices for hours a day" depend on "Michael is an expert tennis player". This means the differences between both ideas is that "Sentence 1 is a compound sentence; Sentence 2 is a complex sentence".

"freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear.

the four freedoms were goals articulated by united states president franklin d. roosevelt on january 6, 1941"

the first proposition is to question economic materialism and victorian christianity. the lines are:

“it moves us not.—great god! i'd rather be

a pagan suckled in a creed outworn; ”

wordsworth is stating that nature no longer interests mankind, that the latter is not “moved” by it and explains that ancient western paganism had a more positive attitude concerning nature since it lacked the perv erted judaeo-christian interpretation of having received the world and all its animals and elements from god to use as we , instead of humans actually being not only part of nature but its wardens, meant to appreciate it and protect it.

the next lines are:

“so might i, standing on this pleasant lea,

have glimpses that would make me less forlorn;

have sight of proteus coming from the sea;

or hear old triton blow his wreathed horn.”

wordsworth here make it very clear that by actually looking and contemplating nature, human beings would reconnect with happiness, serenity and purpose. the use of mythological figures is quite evocative as well, proteus is a greek mythological god of the changing sea. he personifies the sea that changes, which symbolizes the way nature changes and inevitably can change to be destructive not only due to natural causes but to human pollution. furthermore, the sea is even more symbolic since all life originated in the sea so it is not only our past but our future since no life form in our planet can survive without water and if all water is destroyed in earth all life will be gone as well.

he then uses triton which is symbolic of the synthesis of both nature and mankind. triton is a mythological greek god that has the upper body of a man and the lower body of a fish (a merman). this human fish duality evokes the fact that humans are not only human but also part of nature, the fish tail representing nature. the main attribute of this god was that he used a conch shell as a horn to calm the roaring seas. in other words, triton uses nature through science for the benefit of human sailors who risk death during tempests. with the use of such metaphor, wordworth is conveying the message that human technology   is supposed to use nature to preserve nature and thereby humanity as well.
