Therefore, a compound-complex sentence can have multiple independent clauses and also include a subordinate clause. So, the correct answer is "both a and c."Rate this question:

independent clausesExplanation
AAAWWWBBISE is a mnemonic device used to remember the coordinating conjunctions in English: And, But, Or, Yet, So, For, Nor.

A comma is suppose to come after an aaawwuubbise word.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
This statement is true. In English grammar, the acronym "aaawwuubbis" is used to remember the coordinating conjunctions: and, or, but, so, while, when, until, unless, because, if, since. These conjunctions are used to join two independent clauses or to connect words, phrases, or clauses of equal importance. When a coordinating conjunction is used to connect two independent clauses, a comma should be placed before the conjunction. Therefore, a comma is supposed to come after an aaawwuubbise word.Rate this question:

What are trrigger words used for?
- A.
To give you a hard time
- B.
To trigger dependent clauses
- C.
To add context to the sentence
Correct Answer
B. To trigger dependent clausesExplanation
Trigger words are used to signal the start of a dependent clause in a sentence. Dependent clauses cannot stand alone as complete sentences and rely on an independent clause to make sense. Trigger words indicate that a dependent clause is coming and help to connect it to the rest of the sentence. By using trigger words, writers can create more complex and varied sentence structures, adding depth and nuance to their writing.Rate this question:
