Answer
A
Carlos will get the paper; Meg will get the markers.
B
Sasha has been learning karate since she was eight years old.
C
When Audrey gets home, she will make dinner for Miranda.
D
It is getting late, but there is no school tomorrow.
E
Ravi wants to go to the mall even though he has no money to spend.
Explanation
A complex sentence has one independent clause and at least one dependent clause. In B, “since she was eight years old” is a dependent clause; in C, “When Audrey gets home” is dependent; and in E, “even though he has no money to spend” is dependent. A joins two independent clauses with a semicolon, and D joins two independent clauses with “but,” so neither is complex.
