Which one of the following statements ia an example of a complex sentence?
a. neap time is the best time for digging clams.
b. sparrows at the bird feeder compete for seeds.
c. the earth was spinning when lucas first saw lucille.
d. the crescent moon is a symbol of islam.

I believe that (C) The Earth was spinning when Lucas first saw Lucille.

A complex sentence consists of one independent clause and at least one dependent clause. I think the independent clause here is "The Earth was spinning" and the dependent clause is "when Lucas first saw Lucille". The dependent clause cannot stand on its own.

c) vampires in history and modern life.

here's some tricks. write on a book that you have read and really enjoyed. first, start by writing down basic event in the book. have your first paragraph be an intro explaining like the author, the reason the book was written if known, and other backround info like that. paragraph two explain what happens in the first few chapters and the signifigance it had. then for paragraph 3, do the same thing but for the middle. i'm pretty sure you get the point for paragraph 4. just rap things up and explain the call to action. for the final paragragh (paragraph 5) , explain your views on the book, the message, ect. tip: something that might is to go onto cliff notes or something and read the anaylisis of each chapter.
