B adjective phrase is the correct answer
Answer:
I took the dog for a long walk. - simple
The dog ran happily through the park because he had been stuck in the house all day. - complex
He stopped to smell several flowers, and he chased a rabbit. - compound
Explanation:
<u>A simple sentence is constituted of a only one independent clause</u>.<u> It has a subject and a predicate, and it expresses a complete thought. </u>That is what we have in "I took the dog for a long walk."
<u>A complex sentence is formed by joining two clauses, one independent and the other dependent/subordinate.</u> <u>The dependent clause needs the independent one to make sense, since it does not express a complete thought on its own.</u> That is what we have in "The dog ran happily through the park because he had been stuck in the house all day." The subordinating conjunction "because" introduces the dependent clause.
<u>A compound sentence is formed by joining two independent clauses connected by a coordinating conjunction - for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so.</u> That is what happens in "He stopped to smell several flowers, and he chased a rabbit." In this case, the conjunction is "and".
The poem I have chosen is Small Dragon by Brian Patten.
The poem appeals to children's imagination to tell them about a dragon that the author has found in the forest. The author depicts the dragon. He says that it feds on many things like grass, roots of stars, hazel nut and dandelion. Then the author says the dragon made a nest among the coal not unlike a bird but larger. the author says that if you believed in it he would come hurrying to your house to let you share this wonder. In this way he leans on children's innocense to make them believe.
What I liked about this poem is that in a world in which children are treated like adults and they have to worry about life. In a world in which children are forced to work and they have to make a living, there is this dragon that appears in the forest. Thus the author appeals to the innocense of children to make them believe in a wonderful creature, in a wonderful life.
The quote that I like is
If you believed in it I would come
hurrying to your house to let you share this wonder,
Because that makes me think that there is a dragon, that there is a wonderlful creature in the forest. I just have to believe.
