Question

Which sentence is a complex sentence? A. The latch on the window was broken. B. The helicopter circled and descended; then it landed in a clearing. C. Because the movie was already sold out, they decided to go bowling instead. D. During the race, everyone in the crowd cheered loudly.

Answer 1

A complex sentence is the one which contains one independent clause and a dependent clause. The only such example here is C, where 'because the movie was already sold out' is subordinate, and 'they decided to go bowling' is independent.
