Answer:
The sentence that is complex is:
C. After Danny and Erica rode their bikes throughout the countryside, they went back to Erica's house and had some cool lemonade.
Explanation:
A complex sentence is formed by joining an independent clause to a dependent or subordinate one. An independent clause is able to stand alone as a sentence because it can convey a complete thought on its own. A dependent clause on the other hand, cannot do that. Alone, it sounds incomplete.
<u>The sentence "After Danny and Erica rode their bikes throughout the countryside, they went back to Erica's house and had some cool lemonade" is an example of a complex sentence. The independent clause is:</u>
<u>- they went back to Erica's house and had some cool lemonade</u>
<u>The dependent clause is the one beginning with a subordinating conjunction (after), and which cannot stand alone as a sentence:</u>
<u>- After Danny and Erica rode their bikes throughout the countryside</u>
The day of the funeral arrived and there I was standing before the grave stone. It read ‘MARY ROBERT WILSON’. There were lots of people here and I felt uncomfortable. I was only five years old when she died. Back then, nothing made sense. All I remembered was people dressed in black with their heads down and no sound apart from the rushing wind. The woman, Mary, was my mother. It was so long ago, and I was so young that I didn’t know how to react. I just stood there holding on to my fathers hand smiling not knowing that I would never see my mum again. Not knowing that my life was about to change and there was nothing I could about. 10 years later I recall the moment of her death, of her grave and only now... I realised it was too late to cry.
