Answer 1

The complex sentences among the given options are:

“My friend who met me at camp is coming over.”

“Since he was like that, I decide not to bother him.”

“You tell him I’ll take over from here and try to undo the damage.”

Step-by-step explanation:

A complex sentence is a sentence that contains one independent clause and at least one dependent clause.

1. “My friend who met me at camp is coming over.” - It is a complex sentence as it contains an independent clause "My friend is coming over" and a dependent clause "who met me at camp".

2. “Since he was like that, I decide not to bother him.” - It is a complex sentence because it has an independent clause "I decide not to bother him" and a dependent clause "Since he was like that".

3. “You tell him I’ll take over from here and try to undo the damage." - It is a complex sentence because it has an independent clause "I'll take over from here and try to undo the damage" and a dependent clause "You tell him".

Therefore, options 2, 3, and 5 are complex sentences.
