Word Meaning in the Preface to A Dictionary of the English Language

Question 5 • OK-English IV A-CR

Which sentence is a complex sentence?

Answer
A
Ashlee will bring chips and salsa to the party.
B
My dad, however, does not think skateboarding is safe.
C
Emil wants to go to the concert, but he doesn’t have a ride.
D
Although I am tired, I will finish my homework.

Explanation

A complex sentence has an independent clause and a dependent clause. In D, “Although I am tired” is dependent, and “I will finish my homework” can stand alone as an independent clause. Choice C joins two independent clauses with “but,” making it a compound sentence.
