Answer 1

I recommend using simple and compound sentences to effectively communicate Rachel's message to her younger brother in fourth grade.

1. Simple sentence: "First, take out the trash and put it in the big green bin outside." This sentence is straightforward and easy to understand for a young child, giving clear instructions on the first step in the task.

2. Compound sentence: "After that, wipe down the kitchen table with a damp cloth, and make sure to clean up any spills you see." This compound sentence combines two related actions in the task, making it easier for the younger brother to follow along and complete the household task.
