Read the passage. The rocket is fully fueled, and the liftoff is scheduled for next week. The journey to the space station should take five hours, but it could take longer. The mission control team is very experienced, so the launch should go smoothly. How can the passage best be described?
Answer
A
It has all complex sentences.
B
It has all compound sentences.
C
The subordinating conjunctions are used incorrectly.
D
The coordinating conjunctions are used incorrectly.
Explanation
Each sentence joins two independent clauses with a coordinating conjunction: “and,” “but,” or “so.” For example, “The rocket is fully fueled” and “the liftoff is scheduled for next week” can each stand alone as a sentence. Sentences made this way are compound sentences, so the passage has all compound sentences.
