Which sentence below is a COMPLEX sentence?
a. Hip-hop is my favorite type of music.
b. I like hip-hop, but I prefer jazz.
c. That is the most annoying rap song I have ever heard.
b. I like hip-hop, but I prefer jazz.
are you sure?
Apologies for the incorrect response. The correct answer is:
c. That is the most annoying rap song I have ever heard.
This sentence is a complex sentence because it consists of an independent clause ("That is the most annoying rap song") and a dependent clause ("I have ever heard").
To identify a complex sentence, we need to look for two key components: an independent clause and a dependent clause. An independent clause can stand alone as a complete sentence, while a dependent clause cannot.
a. "Hip-hop is my favorite type of music." This sentence only contains one independent clause and no dependent clauses, so it is not a complex sentence.
b. "I like hip-hop, but I prefer jazz." This sentence contains two independent clauses, "I like hip-hop" and "I prefer jazz," connected by the coordinating conjunction "but." Therefore, this is not a complex sentence.
c. "That is the most annoying rap song I have ever heard." This sentence contains one independent clause, "That is the most annoying rap song," and one dependent clause, "I have ever heard." The dependent clause cannot stand alone as a complete sentence, meaning this sentence is a complex sentence.
So, the complex sentence is option c.
