In a _______ sentence, you can expect to find two or more independent clauses and one or more dependent clauses
A. compound-complex
B. double compound
C. complex
D. compound
My answer is D. is that right?
Yes, A.
No, not D.
Here are some ideas for you:
Simple sentence = 1 independent clause
Compound sentence = 2 independent clauses joined with semicolon or a comma and a coordinating conjunction
Complex sentence = 1 independent clause + at least 1 dependent clause
Compound-complex sentence = Compound sentence + at least 1 dependent clause.
No.

I got it, it's A. compound-complex
Yes, your answer is correct. A compound sentence is a type of sentence structure that contains two or more independent clauses. An independent clause is a group of words that can stand alone as a complete sentence because it expresses a complete thought. In addition, a compound sentence may also include coordinating conjunctions, such as "and," "but," or "or," to connect the independent clauses.
On the other hand, a complex sentence consists of one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. A dependent clause, also known as a subordinate clause, cannot stand alone as a complete sentence because it does not express a complete thought. Therefore, option C (complex) is not the correct answer.
Option B (double compound) is not a recognized term in sentence structure and not relevant to this question.
Hence, A. compound-complex is not the correct answer either. In a compound-complex sentence, you would expect to find two or more independent clauses and one or more dependent clauses. It is a combination of both compound and complex sentences.
Therefore, the correct answer is D. compound, as it states that a compound sentence contains two or more independent clauses, which meets the criteria stated in the question.
