Question 143280 • GA-Literature and Composition II A

What compound-complex sentence can be formed from the underlined section of the passage?

Answer
A
Learning a language can be a difficult and useful hobby; I’ve tried it.
B
Learning a language can be difficult; it is one of the most useful hobbies I’ve tried.
C
Learning a language can be difficult, it is one of the most useful hobbies I’ve tried.
D
Learning a language can be difficult, yet it is one of the most useful hobbies that I’ve tried.

Explanation

A compound-complex sentence has at least two independent clauses and at least one dependent clause. In D, “Learning a language can be difficult” and “it is one of the most useful hobbies” are independent clauses joined by “yet”; “that I’ve tried” is a dependent clause describing “hobbies.”
