1. To determine the correct answer, we need to identify the structure and components of the sentence.
The sentence "Reading is essential for becoming a savvy member of one's community, and writing is essential for expressing one's viewpoint effectively in that community" contains two main clauses connected by the coordinating conjunction "and."
Looking at the options:
A. Compound sentence: This is incorrect because a compound sentence requires two independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction or a semicolon.
B. Parallel compound sentences: This is incorrect because parallel compound sentences would consist of two or more independent clauses with parallel structure.
C. 3 point topic sentence, with good parallelism: This is incorrect because the sentence does not have three main points or topics presented in a parallel form.
D. Run-on sentence: This is incorrect because a run-on sentence is a sentence in which two or more independent clauses are joined without proper punctuation or conjunction.
E. Fragment: This is the correct answer because the sentence is incomplete and does not express a complete thought.
F. Simple sentence with a compound subject: This is incorrect because a simple sentence consists of one independent clause, whereas this sentence has two independent clauses.
G. Compound-complex sentence: This is incorrect because a compound-complex sentence consists of two or more independent clauses and at least one dependent clause, but this sentence does not have a dependent clause.
Therefore, the correct answer is E) fragment.
2. Similarly, for the second sentence "I came, I saw, and she conquered all my fears. We laughed, we cried, and we loved throughout the years," we analyze its structure and components.
This sentence is actually made up of two separate sentences: "I came, I saw, and she conquered all my fears" and "We laughed, we cried, and we loved throughout the years." Each of these sentences could stand alone as a complete thought.
Looking at the options:
A. Compound sentence: This is incorrect because a compound sentence would require a coordinating conjunction or a semicolon to join two independent clauses, which is not the case here.
B. Parallel compound sentences: This is incorrect because parallel compound sentences would consist of two or more independent clauses with parallel structure, which is not the case here.
C. 3 point topic sentence, with good parallelism: This is incorrect because the sentence does not have three main points or topics presented in a parallel form.
D. Run-on sentence: This is incorrect because it is not a run-on sentence, as each clause is a complete thought and the clauses are separated by punctuation.
E. Fragment: This is incorrect because both sentences are complete, independent clauses.
F. Simple sentence with a compound subject: This is the correct answer because each sentence has a simple subject and contains a compound subject when "we" is included.
G. Compound-complex sentence: This is incorrect because a compound-complex sentence consists of two or more independent clauses and at least one dependent clause, which is not the case here.
Therefore, the correct answer is F) simple sentence with a compound subject.
3. Finally, for the third sentence "The current standoff in Congress has resulted in each side entrenching itself in its own viewpoint; this impasse may ultimately result in a government shutdown if both sides cannot come to a reasonable agreement," we analyze its structure and components.
The sentence has two main clauses joined by a semicolon. The first clause is "The current standoff in Congress has resulted in each side entrenching itself in its own viewpoint," and the second clause is "this impasse may ultimately result in a government shutdown if both sides cannot come to a reasonable agreement."
Looking at the options:
A. Compound sentence: This is the correct answer because the sentence consists of two independent clauses connected by a coordinating conjunction.
B. Parallel compound sentences: This is incorrect because parallel compound sentences would consist of two or more independent clauses with parallel structure, which is not the case here.
C. 3 point topic sentence, with good parallelism: This is incorrect because the sentence does not have three main points or topics presented in a parallel form.
D. Run-on sentence: This is incorrect because a run-on sentence refers to the incorrect joining of two or more independent clauses without proper punctuation or conjunction, which is not the case here.
E. Fragment: This is incorrect because the sentence expresses a complete thought and is not incomplete.
F. Simple sentence with a compound subject: This is incorrect because the sentence has two main clauses and is not a simple sentence.
G. Compound-complex sentence: This is incorrect because a compound-complex sentence consists of two or more independent clauses and at least one dependent clause, which is not the case here.
Therefore, the correct answer is A) Compound sentence.
