Answer 2

Correct! Sentence D is a simple sentence because it consists of only one independent clause. It doesn't contain any dependent clauses or additional phrases that complicate its structure. To identify simple sentences, you can look for sentences that have a subject, a verb, and express a complete thought on their own without relying on other clauses or phrases. In this case, sentence D satisfies these criteria as it has the subject "I," the verb "went," and expresses a complete thought. Great job!
