Question

Which of the following is a complex sentence? A. As Jake was reading the letter from June yet again, the flight attendant coughed gently to get his attention. B. I simply cannot make heads or tails of rap lyrics, but I suppose I'm just too old to understand them. C. Check out the editorial page in today's paper and you'll notice the piece by Oscar Lewis. D.

Answer 1

The correct answer here is A. A complex sentence must contain both an independent clause and a dependent clause. The only sentence that fits this category would be 'As Jake was reading the letter from June yet again, the flight attendant coughed gently to get his attention.'
