Question

Is the sentence simple, compound, or complex?

Lorenzo peeled and sliced the potatoes this evening.
a. compound
b. simple
c. complex

Answer 1

the answer simple because it doesn't have an independent or dependent clause,one of the fanboys(for and nor but yet so), or a subordinating clase

Answer 2

The correct answer is A, compound. Because it consists of two independent clauses (Lorenzo peeled + and + (Lorenzo) sliced the potatoes this evening). It cannot be a simple sentence because it has more than one independent clauses. And it cannot be complex because there are no dependent clauses here.
