Read the quotation by Sojourner Truth.I am glad to see that men are getting their rights, but I want women to get theirs, and while the water is stirring, I will step into the pool.Which best describes the syntax in this quotation?
Answer
A
Truth uses simple syntax to describe how she will help women gain equal rights.
B
Truth uses simple syntax to express the idea she will participate in the fight for equality.
C
Truth uses complex syntax to describe how she will help women gain equal rights.
D
Truth uses complex syntax to express the idea she will participate in the fight for equality.
Explanation
Truth’s quotation has complex syntax: it joins independent clauses with “but” and “and,” and includes subordinate clauses such as “that men are getting their rights” and “while the water is stirring.” The image of stepping into the pool while the water is stirring means she will join the struggle for equality. So the best description is that she uses complex syntax to express her participation in the fight for equality.
