Answer
A
You will need to talk to Mr. Cortez if you want to try out for the play.
B
Brooke is a strong athlete, and she is also a hardworking student.
C
Although many people dislike reptiles, I think snakes are fascinating.
D
Elijah wants to buy a guitar, but he hasn’t saved up enough money.
E

Explanation
A complex sentence has an independent clause and at least one dependent clause. In A, “if you want to try out for the play” is dependent; in C, “Although many people dislike reptiles” is dependent; and in E, “Once I finish knitting this scarf” is dependent. B and D join two independent clauses with coordinating conjunctions, so they are compound sentences, not complex sentences.
