Check all that apply.The photographs that I stored in the attic are faded and cracked, but I think we can have them restored by a professional.It adds detail about the photographs.It tells the reader which photographs are being discussed.It gets readers excited about photography.It creates a compound-complex sentence.It shows that the photographs can be restored.

Answer
A
It adds detail about the photographs.
B
It tells the reader which photographs are being discussed.
C
It gets readers excited about photography.
D
It creates a compound-complex sentence.
E
It shows that the photographs can be restored.

Explanation

The underlined clause, “that I stored in the attic,” describes the photographs and identifies which photographs the sentence means, so A and B are correct. The sentence also has two independent clauses joined by “but” and a dependent relative clause, making it compound-complex, so D is correct. The clause does not say the photographs can be restored; that idea appears in the rest of the sentence.
