Problem 7 - Entrance Test
Which of the following sentences is an example of a complex sentence?
Correct: B
The correct answer is B) I went to the store because I needed to buy some milk. This sentence is an example of a complex sentence because it contains an independent clause ("I went to the store") and a dependent clause ("because I needed to buy some milk"). The dependent clause is introduced by the subordinating conjunction "because," which indicates the reason for the action in the independent clause. Choice A is incorrect because it is a compound sentence, which contains two independent clauses joined by a conjunction. Choice C is incorrect because it is also a compound sentence, which contains two independent clauses joined by a conjunction. Choice D is incorrect because it is a simple sentence, which contains only one independent clause.
