Explanation:

Analyze Q1.1 Rhetorical Strategy

The quote relies on the speaker's professional credentials ("As a dentist of 13 years") to establish credibility and trust. This appeal to authority and character is known as ethos.

Analyze Q1.2 Sentence Structure

The sentence "She was sent home early because she got sick during class" contains:

• One independent clause: "She was sent home early"
• One dependent clause: "because she got sick during class" (introduced by the subordinating conjunction "because")

A sentence with one independent clause and at least one dependent clause is a complex sentence.

Analyze Q1.3 Compound-Complex Sentence

A compound-complex sentence must contain at least two independent clauses and at least one dependent clause. Let's evaluate option D:

• Dependent clause: "Although it was raining"
• First independent clause: "they decided to go to the beach"
• Second independent clause: "but they brought umbrellas just in case" (joined by the coordinating conjunction "but")

This matches the definition perfectly.
