Question

7. The excited guests ascended the stairs to the awards ceremony. Determine the type of sentence

a. simple b. compound c. complex d. compound complex

Answer 1

a. simple.

Step-by-step explanation:

• A simple sentence is a sentence has only one independent clause with a subject, a predicate (which states what the subject is doing) and a complete thought.
• Here, "The excited guest" is the subject, "ascended the stairs" is the predicate as it states the action of the subject, and "to the awards ceremony" is a complete though.
• Thus, it is a simple sentence as it does not have any other dependent or subordinate clauses.
• An example of a simple sentence can be "The mail man went home in a hurry".
