Great job! Your answers are correct. Now, let me explain how to arrive at these answers.
1. A simple sentence consists of one independent clause. In the given options, the sentence "He bakes many kinds of bread." only contains one subject (He) and one predicate (bakes many kinds of bread), making it a simple sentence.
2. A compound sentence consists of two or more independent clauses connected by a coordinating conjunction (such as "and," "but," or "so"). In the given options, the sentence "It was a beautiful day, so we decided to go to the zoo." contains two independent clauses (It was a beautiful day and we decided to go to the zoo) joined by the coordinating conjunction "so," making it a compound sentence.
3. A complex sentence consists of one independent clause and at least one dependent clause. In the given options, the sentence "The family made sure they packed warm clothes before their trip up north." contains one independent clause (The family made sure they packed warm clothes) and one dependent clause (before their trip up north), making it a complex sentence.
4. Authors vary their sentence structure to make their writing more interesting. By using different sentence structures, such as varying sentence lengths, types of sentences (simple, compound, complex), and sentence patterns, authors can engage readers and avoid monotony in their writing.
5. The connotation of a word refers to the feelings or emotions associated with it. It is the implied meaning beyond the literal definition of a word. It is not related to the way it is read out loud or the sentence structure it is used in but rather the emotions, associations, or cultural significance that the word carries.
