Answer 1

I recommend that Rachel use simple and compound sentences to effectively communicate her message to her younger brother. Simple sentences will allow her to convey one idea clearly and concisely, making it easier for him to understand. Compound sentences could be useful for connecting related ideas and providing more information without creating confusion. By using a combination of simple and compound sentences, Rachel can break down the task into manageable steps and ensure that her brother is able to follow along easily.
