Assignment 10 (A)

These are the incorrect answers.

A cayote, perhaps, brush wolf as they called them up north, or maybe a timber wolf, two wolves, one begging from the other.

What is the sentence type here, and why?

This is a complex sentence because it has one independent clause and two independent clauses. It also has two subject and verb agreements. The first one is “they called them” and the second one is “one begging from the other”.

He had the bow, a laminate straight, almost a longbow, that pulled forty-five pounds at twenty-six inches’ draw.

In this case, what is “draw”, and what does “pounds” refer to here?

The “pounds" refer to up to how many ponds it would kill.

I think this sentence is not a complete complex sentence because it doesn’t have any independent clause but it has a dependent clause, “as they called them up north.”The subject is “they” and the verb is “called.”
