The correct answer to the question is indeed A. Compound-complex. To determine the answer, you need to understand the different types of sentences.
A compound-complex sentence is a sentence that contains two or more independent clauses (compound) and at least one dependent clause (complex). It combines the elements of compound and complex sentences.
A simple sentence consists of just one independent clause, which means it has a subject and a verb and expresses a complete thought.
A complex sentence has one independent clause and at least one dependent clause. The independent clause can stand alone as a complete sentence, but the dependent clause cannot.
A simple-compound sentence is a sentence that is a combination of simple and compound sentences. It features at least two independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction.
By understanding the definitions of these types of sentences, you would be able to determine that compound-complex is not one of the options. So, your answer of A is correct.
