The Adventures of Tom Sawyer was written by Samuel Clemens who wrote under the name, Mark Twain. When Twain was a boy in school in the 1840s, he always earned the medal for winning the weekly spelling bee. Once, he left out the first "r" in February so that a girl he liked would
win. This and other stories became the basis for many of the delightful tales in Twain's writings. He went on to become one of the most famous

i would pick a. i think this is more of a personal question though.

answer: while there are loads of great interviewing techniques and questions, i feel it’s important to balance time and effectiveness when determining whether a candidate and employer relationship will be strong long-term.

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.
