Final answer:
The sentences from 'The Dark Game' are identified as follows: the first is a simple sentence, the second and third are compound sentences, and the fourth is a complex sentence.
Step-by-step explanation:
To identify each sentence as simple, compound, or complex from the excerpt provided, we need to look at the structure and components of the sentences. A simple sentence contains one independent clause with a subject and predicate. A compound sentence contains at least two independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction or semicolon. A complex sentence has an independent clause and at least one dependent clause.
In 'The Dark Game':
'Berlin was deep in the Soviet section of Germany.' - This is a simple sentence because it contains only one subject and one predicate.
'The Soviet Union gained control of the eastern part of the country, while the other three Allied nations controlled the western part.' - This is a compound sentence because it contains two independent clauses joined by the conjunction 'while'.
'An uneasy peace prevailed between the Russians and the other Allies, but each side was suspicious of the other.' - This is another compound sentence, with two independent clauses joined by the conjunction 'but'.
'Since such tension was typical in the divided city, it should come as no surprise that Berlin in the early 1950s was a city of intrigue, espionage, and danger.' - This is a complex sentence because it starts with a dependent clause 'Since such tension was typical in the divided city,' and is followed by an independent clause.
