2)dep clause, complex

5)both of us know (ind)that we must study hard,(dep)or we will not get into good colleges,(ind) is compound complex
2 is now correct. Do you know which words make up the dep cl?
5 is now correct.
Look at 4 by isolating the clauses and ignoring the phrases; "Because of bad weather" is not a clause.
4)Because of bad weather,the game was canceled,(ind)but it will be played tomorrow.(dep) and is compound complex
IS it better now?
4 is still incorrect.

4)ok, it has to be compound ? But in my question I have only 2 choices either complex or compound-complex
Then there's an error in your text or test. If that first phrase had been a clause, the sentence would have been a compound-complex.
Complain to your instructor!
1) Mr and Mrs Johnson play golf (independent clause) when the weather is warm (dependent clause) - This is a complex sentence because it consists of one independent clause and one dependent clause.
2) What I would like is a vacation - This is an independent clause and it is a complex sentence because it consists of only one independent clause.
3) Alicia works at the daycare center that is located next to the high school (independent clause), and her sister works there, too (dependent clause) - This is a compound-complex sentence because it consists of two independent clauses connected by a coordinating conjunction (and), and one dependent clause.
4) Because of bad weather (dependent clause), the game was canceled (independent clause), but it will be played tomorrow (independent clause) - This is a compound-complex sentence because it consists of two independent clauses connected by a coordinating conjunction (but), and one dependent clause.
5) Both of us knows that we must study hard (independent clause), or we will not get into good colleges (dependent clause) - This is a compound-complex sentence because it consists of one independent clause and one dependent clause connected by a coordinating conjunction (or).
