To determine which of the given options describes a simple sentence, we can break down each option and analyze its components.
Option 1: A sentence that contains at least two independent clauses and at least one dependent clause.
This option describes a compound-complex sentence, not a simple sentence. A simple sentence consists of just one independent clause.
Option 2: A sentence that contains two or more independent clauses that are usually joined with a comma and a conjunction.
This option describes a compound sentence, not a simple sentence. A simple sentence should only have one independent clause.
Option 3: A sentence that contains one independent clause and at least one dependent clause.
This option describes a complex sentence, not a simple sentence. A simple sentence typically does not include any dependent clauses.
Option 4: A sentence that contains a subject and a verb and expresses a complete thought.
This option accurately describes a simple sentence. A simple sentence consists of a subject (who or what the sentence is about), a verb (what the subject does or is), and it expresses a complete thought. It does not contain any dependent clauses or multiple independent clauses.
Therefore, the correct option is:
- a sentence that contains a subject and a verb and expresses a complete thought.
