PLEASE HELP How does Garland’s presentation of events affect “The Return of a Private”?

He orders events chronologically from the time Private Smith begins his journey home from the war to his reunion with his wife and children.

He uses a series of flashbacks to explain what leads Private Smith to join the war and how Emma feels about his decision.

He develops one plot line to describe the journey of Private Smith’s homecoming and a second plot line to explain what Emma experiences while awaiting her husband’s return.

He uses two plot lines to explain how Private Smith and Emma have different perspectives about the same events.

i'm pretty sure i had this question the other day and b was the right answer.

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.
