Question 9 • AL-English Language Arts 11 Critical Standards
The sentence has a dependent clause, “Although England has a better soccer team,” introduced by “although.” It also has two independent clauses joined by “and”: “their more aggressive style did not pay off” and “they lost the tournament.” A sentence with at least one dependent clause and at least two independent clauses is compound-complex, so choice C is correct.
