Assignment #8 (A)
“Huge tracks in wet mud, then muddy tracks in the grass, moving through low hazel brush up toward the dogs and the kennel, where the bear must have smelled the dog food, fish and beaver meat-the odor would carry with good wind for miles.” (Paulsen, P.76)

This is complex sentence because it has one independent and one dependent clause.
The independent clause is “the odor would carry with good wind for miles.” The common noun “odor” functions as the subject and “would…carry” functions as the verb.
The dependent clause is “where the bear must have smelled the dog food, fish and beaver meat.” The noun “bear” functions as the subject and “have smelled” functions as the verb. The subordinator is “when.”

This is complex sentence because I see that there are two independent clause and one dependent clause. The first independent clause is "Huge tracks in wet mud, then muddy tracks in the grass, moving through low hazel brush up toward the dogs and the kennel" and the second independent clause is "the odor would carry with good wind for miles." The dependent clause is "where the bear must have smelled the dog food, fish and beaver meat."
This is a complex sentence because it has two independent clauses and one dependent, the first independent clause is "Huge racks in wet mud..." and the second independent " the odor would carry with good wind for miles".
The dependent clause is "where the bear must have smelled the dog food fish and beaver meat".
