Your answers are almost correct. Here are the correct answers and explanations:
1. The compound sentence is: "To get to the zoo, we took the train and a cab." This sentence has two independent clauses ("we took the train" and "we took a cab") joined by the coordinating conjunction "and."
2. The complex sentence is: "Ellie had been to the mountains, but her brother had never seen them." This sentence has one independent clause ("Ellie had been to the mountains") and one dependent clause ("her brother had never seen them") joined by the coordinating conjunction "but."
3. Authors vary sentence structure in their writing to make their writing more interesting. By using different sentence structures, such as varying the length and type of sentences, authors can create a more engaging and dynamic reading experience for their audience.
4. The connotation of a word is the feeling associated with it. Connotation refers to the emotional or cultural associations that a word carries, which can be positive, negative, or neutral. It is different from the denotation, which is the literal or dictionary definition of a word.
5. The two imperative sentences are: "Watch out for the rise in that step in front of you!" and "Make sure that you read your notes carefully to prepare." Imperative sentences give commands or instructions, and in these sentences, the speaker is instructing someone to do something.
