A simple sentence has one independent clause and no dependent clause. B has one subject, “Reading novels,” and one predicate, “is one of the greatest pleasures in my life.” D and E also each express one complete independent clause. A includes the dependent clause “if you look closely,” and C includes the dependent clause “that you have never been before,” so those are not simple sentences.
