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.

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:

- they went back to Erica's house and had some cool lemonade

The dependent clause is the one beginning with a subordinating conjunction (after), and which cannot stand alone as a sentence:

- After Danny and Erica rode their bikes throughout the countryside

Which statement is an example of a compound sentence?A. Paolo missed his girlfriend, but he knew she'd be back soon.B. Cora hope

natima [27]

First off, a compound sentence is a sentence that contains at least two independent clauses. That tells us C is out almost immediately because it has a dependent clause, "After Maria finished dinner". Next, is B, That's a simple sentence, there's no joining method or comma and it only has one subject and one predicate. D isn't right either, it just about the same as B. Your answer would be A. Paolo missed his girlfriend, but he knew she'd be back soon. This sentence has a joining clause, and two independent subjects.

Hope this helps,
♥A.W.E.S.W.A.N.♥
