What does this excerpt from the beginning of F. Scott Fitzgerald's short story "Winter Dreams" tell readers about Dexter's motiv

ations as a character?
He became a golf champion and defeated Mr. T. A. Hedrick in a marvellous match played a hundred times over the fairways of his imagination, a match each detail of which he changed about untiringly—sometimes he won with almost laughable ease, sometimes he came up magnificently from behind. Again, stepping from a Pierce-Arrow automobile, like Mr. Mortimer Jones, he strolled frigidly into the lounge of the Sherry Island Golf Club—or perhaps, surrounded by an admiring crowd, he gave an exhibition of fancy diving from the spring-board of the club raft. . . . Among those who watched him in open-mouthed wonder was Mr. Mortimer Jones.
A. Dexter dreams of upstaging Mortimer Jones at golf and gaining his admiration.
B. Dexter dreams of becoming a champion golfer and buying an expensive automobile with the winnings.
C. Dexter dreams of being admitted into high society and gaining its admiration.
D. Dexter dreams of befriending Mortimer Jones so he can convince him to give him a job.
E. Dexter dreams of impressing Mortimer Jones so he can borrow his automobile.

Highlight the 2 complex sentences in the text below.
hammer [2716]

Response: The two complex sentences are:

Due to the inadequacy of general ventilation in maintaining control, we strongly advise that additional fans and vent systems be installed at all welding locations.

As individual team members will initially be accountable for their own safety, ensuring that welders receive proper instruction and training regarding these controls is essential.

Clarification:

A sentence is regarded as complex when it comprises one independent clause and at least one dependent clause. An independent clause is a set of words that can function autonomously as a complete sentence. Conversely, a dependent clause fails to communicate a complete thought and cannot exist independently.

In the aforementioned sentences, the second and last ones qualify as complex sentences. They both commence with a dependent clause incapable of being a standalone statement, followed by an independent clause.
