Question 9 • English Language Arts 10

Read the sentence. When I go rock climbing, I prefer climbing in landscapes that present a challenge. What type of sentence is this?

Answer
A
a simple sentence
B
a complex sentence
C
a compound sentence
D
a compound-complex sentence

Explanation

The sentence has one independent clause: “I prefer climbing in landscapes that present a challenge.” It also has the dependent clause “When I go rock climbing,” introduced by the subordinating word “when.” A sentence with one independent clause and at least one dependent clause is a complex sentence, so the correct choice is “a complex sentence.”
