To determine the form of the sentence "While I was doing my homework, my father cooked dinner", we need to analyze its structure. This sentence is a complex sentence because it contains both an independent clause ("my father cooked dinner") and a dependent clause ("While I was doing my homework") joined by the subordinating conjunction "while".

The sentence that has correctly placed commas is "My teacher, Ms. Smith, assigned a project about penguins." Commas are used to set off nonessential information, such as the teacher's name in this case, from the main sentence.

The word with a prefix that means "opposite of" or "not" is "uncomfortable". The prefix "un-" in this word gives it the meaning of being the opposite of comfort or not comfortable.
The root word of "unbelievable" is "believe". The prefix "un-" added to the root word changes its meaning to the opposite, making "unbelievable" mean "not believable".
The pronoun "himself" in the sentence "He himself built the automobile" is a reflexive pronoun. Reflexive pronouns reflect the action of the verb back onto the subject of the sentence.
The sentence that does not contain a double negative is "There's no chance." Double negatives involve using two negative elements in a sentence, which can create confusion or change the intended meaning.
