Question

A sentence that consists of a single independent clause and makes a single statement is called a ______ sentence.

a complex
b compound
c run-on
b simple

Answer 1

D because that is the simplest sentance and it can stand alone

Answer 2

The correct answer is D. simple.

A simple sentence contains only one independent clause. If a sentence has more than one independent clauses, then it's called a compound sentence. If it has one independent clause, as well as one (or more) dependent clauses, then it is a complex sentence. A run-on sentence is a grammatically incorrect sentence which combines two or more independent clauses with a comma only, rather than with a conjunction.
