Some examples of simple, compound, complex and compound-complex sentences using the examples given are the following:
People get so excited about football. I don't understand it. It is not nearly as interesting as baseball. Here we have three simple sentences.
People get so excited about football and I don't understand why; it is not nearly as interesting as baseball. Compound sentence formed by three independent clauses. The firs two are linked by the coordinator "and", and the third one is separated by a semicolon.
I don't understand why people get so excited about football. It is not nearly as interesting as baseball. Complex sentence formed by a dependent clause embedded in an independent clause, introduced by the adverb of reason "why". Afterwards, We have an independent clause.
I don't understand why people get so excited about football, for it is not nearly as interesting as baseball. Compound-complex sentence formed by two clauses, one independent containing a dependent introduced by the adverb of reason "why", and the other one linked by the coordinator "for".
 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Based on the system of elimination, I would choose - the first is a fantasy but the second is reality (could really happen).
In the first sentence, the poet wishes that the trees are bent due to a boy playing there and swinging on the branches. But the second sentence shows a possible reality, where the cold weather is the one that destroys the birches.
