4. Because it was raining, we stayed inside. (Subordinating Conjunction-Clause-Main Clause) - This sentence uses a subordinating conjunction (because) to introduce a dependent clause (it was raining), which provides a reason for the main clause (we stayed inside).
5. The old, rusty car slowly rolled down the hill. (Adjective-Adjective-Noun-Verb-Adverb-Prepositional Phrase) - This sentence combines multiple descriptive elements, including adjectives (old, rusty), an adverb (slowly), and a prepositional phrase (down the hill), to create a vivid image.
