Answer

Brief Explanations:

  1. First, identify the types of sentences:
    • Simple sentences have one independent clause.
    • Compound sentences have two or more independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction.
    • Complex sentences have one independent and one or more dependent clauses.
    • Compound - complex sentences have two or more independent clauses and one or more dependent clauses.
  2. Then, rewrite the paragraph:
    • "My garden won't grow because it is too hot (cx). I wish I could grow vegetables and flowers; I want cucumbers, tomatoes, and lettuce (cd). Also, I want sunflowers, roses, and dahlias (s). Since the heat is extreme and the sun is unbearable, especially in summer, it's cooler where I'm from (cd - cx). I grew up tending a garden, and I remember that my brother and I picked fresh cucumbers in summer (cd). We snacked on them outside, for the garden provided our summertime snacks, and they were delicious (cd - cx)."
  3. Regarding the comparison:
    • The revised paragraph is more varied in sentence structure. It makes the writing more engaging and flows better than the original which had mostly simple sentences.

We snacked on them outside, for the garden provided our summertime snacks, and they were delicious (cd - cx). How it compares: The revised paragraph has more varied sentence - structure, making it more engaging and flowing better than the original with mostly simple sentences.
