compound-complex

The correct answer is D. Compound-complex

Explanation:

In grammar, a sentence is considered as a compound-complex sentence when it integrates a compound sentence that includes at least two independent clauses, and a complex sentence that includes at least one dependent clause. Let's remember a clause is dependent if it is incomplete without another sentence.

This occurs in the sentence presented because the clause "Because he wants to make the track team" is independent as it expresses an incomplete idea and it is introduced by the word "because" that shows its dependency. On the other hand, "Travis runs three miles after school every day" and "his father times him" are complete and therefore, independent clauses. As a result, you have one dependent clause and two independent and thus, this is a compound-complex sentence.

the excerpt from chapter 2 of "animal farm", by george orwell that is an example of foreshadowing is "these three (snowball, napoleon, and squealer) had elaborated old major's teachings into a complete system of thought to which they gave the name of animalism." animal farm is an allegory of how czarist russia developed into communist russia with all its corruption. old major's teachings represent marx's theories turned into communism, animalism, by the three pigs. this foreshadows the oppression and corruption that will follow this revolt.

your answer is b. "with strong wording encouraging readers to take action."
