Please do not keep posting the same question. I answered your first post a little while ago.

Which of the following sentences contains a dependent clause and an independent clause?



My dog Fred enjoys ice cream sundaes.


My dog Fred enjoys ice cream sundaes, and I like walking him to our local ice cream parlor.


Because he loves cold food, my dog Fred enjoys ice cream sundaes.


Because he loves cold food

Yes, you are correct. The complex sentence is option D, "After the rain ended, the sky became blue." This sentence contains an independent clause, "the sky became blue," and a dependent clause, "After the rain ended." The dependent clause cannot stand alone as a complete sentence and relies on the independent clause to make sense. Therefore, option D is a complex sentence.
