5002 Praxis Practice Test Practice Question

Which is a compound-complex sentence?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: A compound-complex sentence contains at least two independent clauses and one or more dependent clauses. Option D meets this criterion, featuring the independent clauses "we go all the time" and "we have not been on that coaster yet," along with the dependent clause "Since we like to go on roller coasters."

Option A is a simple list and lacks both independent and dependent clauses. Option B contains one independent clause and one dependent clause, making it a complex sentence, not compound-complex. Option C consists of two independent clauses connected by a conjunction, classifying it as a compound sentence.
