Question

Which of the following is an example of a complex sentence?

• A. The sun is shining.
• B. She went to the store and bought milk.
• C. Because it was raining, I took an umbrella.
• D. The cat sat on the mat.

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Because it was raining, I took an umbrella.

A complex sentence contains one independent clause and at least one dependent clause. In the sentence 'Because it was raining, I took an umbrella,' 'I took an umbrella' is the independent clause, and 'Because it was raining' is the dependent clause, making the entire sentence complex.
