• C. He is brave but careless.
• D. None of these .

Answer 1

Answer:

C. He is brave but careless.

A complex sentence contains one main clause and at least one subordinate clause. A compound sentence contains at least two main clauses and no subordinate clauses. We can convert a complex sentence into a compound sentence by changing the subordinate clause or clauses into main clauses. Note that subordinate clauses are introduced by conjunctions like because, as, if, when, where, since and though. The conjunctions commonly used in compound sentences are: and, or, but, yet and for.
