While Tim napped, his dog ate the trash. Is that a compound, complex, or simple

The correct answer is “The author includes the years events happened”. In a writing narrated chronologically, the order of the events is shown consecutively in time. The plot events are lined up in temporal sequence. In order to show that in a writing, dates of the events should be included. That is why the best clue that helps readers know that the first two paragraphs of "My Story" are structured chronologically is the inclusion of the years where the events happened.
