Which statement about sentence lengths in a written piece is true? a. varying sentence type has no appreciable effect on relative sentence length b. in spite of their name, compound-complex sentences are usually shorter than compound or complex sentences c. short sentences tend to move ideas quickly d. regardless of the sentence type, the audience tends to read at its own pace

The correct answer is  C. Short sentences tend to move ideas quickly

Explanation:

In writing, the sentence length depends on the type of sentence because simple sentences tend to be shorter (they only present one idea), while complex compound sentences tend to be longer (they link two or more clauses/ideas). This also implies by varying the sentence type the lengths of sentences changes and also other elements in the texts are affected this includes the rhythm the text has and the pace or speed of the text. In terms of pace, short sentences make the pace quickly and longer sentence make the pace slow considering in the case of short sentences the reader moves faster from one idea to others. Considering this, the statement that is true about sentence length is "short sentences tend to move ideas quickly" as they make the pace or speed of the text faster.

a. the scene is structured as a dialogue between two characters in their own informal language.

well stockyards mean a large yard containing pens and sheds, typically adjacent to a slaughterhouse, in which livestock is kept and sorted. and i'm assuming that by party you   mean a large group of people which does make sense because chicago is a very crowded place much like new york. stockyards tend to take up a lot of room due to needing the area for pens to keep animals in and the fact that stockyards are usually right by slaughterhouse where they process and distribute the product. so its much like a zoo but with some dead animal products close by.
