This question is from the Adventures of Tom Sawyer
Explanation:
- Tom finds a new boy, Alfred who is well dressed and looks arrogant. He picks up a quarrel with him saying if he could lick him up. In the beginning it might seem humorous but it eventually leads to a fight between the boys.
- Tom win's the fight and Alfred walks home crying. Once when Tom's back is turned, Alfred throws stone on Tom. Tom chases the Alfred and waits outside his house.
- The fight is to be considered something serious because there was no point except showing once dominance over the other.
Answer:
c. compound
Explanation:
This is a compound sentence, you can easily get that by seeing that it contains a conjunction, but. Conjunctions include, for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so. You can remember it with the acronym, FANBOYS. Also, the sentence has two independent clauses, or two parts that could stand as a sentence by itself, opponents of labeling defend GMOs, proponents are skeptical.
That type of figurative language is a metaphor.
