Read the excerpt from "The Gift of the Magi." "Isn't it a dandy, Jim? I hunted all over town to find it. You'll have to look at

the time a hundred times a day now. Give me your watch. I want to see how it looks on it." Instead of obeying, Jim tumbled down on the couch and put his hands under the back of his head and smiled. "Dell," said he, "let's put our Christmas presents away and keep 'em a while. They're too nice to use just at present. I sold the watch to get the money to buy your combs. And now suppose you put the chops on." Which best describes the use of irony in this excerpt?

Natali [406]
"Get over the fact that you didn't make it on the cheerleading team," she said, "and just try to <span>get on another team." contains correct punctuation, since when a sentence is interrupted by naming the speaker a comma must always be used when reintroducing the next segment. </span>

The luggage was not misplaced but it was kept deliberately. make complex sentence​
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

The luggage was not misplaced, although it was kept deliberately.

Explanation:

The original sentence is a compound sentence, in which we have two independent clauses joined by the coordinating conjunction "but". To transform it into a complex sentence, we need to change one of the clauses to make it a dependent clause. To do that, we can simply substitute "but" for a subordinating conjunction. A possibility is using "although", which conveys the same idea of contrast:

The luggage was not misplaced, although it was kept deliberately.
