2. Complex - it has one independent clause (the home team was winning) and one dependent clause (When the teams left the field for halftime, but the opposing team trailed by only one goal)
3. Compound - it has two independent clauses (The home team had the fans’ support & families cheered from the stands.)
4. Simple - it has one independent clause (The fans went wild over every steal and goal during the game.)

1. In the given sentence, it is implied that you not only cleaned but also washed the clothes. The phrase "cleaned and ironed" suggests that you took care of the clothes by both removing dirt and wrinkles, which typically involves washing them first. Therefore, the sentence means that you washed the clothes before cleaning and ironing them.

2. In the second sentence, it is stated that you sold "some" of your mom's old dresses. The word "some" indicates that you sold more than just one dress. However, it is explicitly mentioned that you only managed to sell one dress on that particular day at the flea market. Therefore, even though you had more dresses available for sale, you were only able to sell one dress and made 1,000 won from that sale.
