Question

read each sentence and determine whether it is compound, complex, or compound-complex. \because our favorite restaurant was closed, we decided to cook dinner at home.\

Explanation:

A complex sentence has one independent clause and at least one dependent clause. The sentence "Because our favorite restaurant was closed, we decided to cook dinner at home" has a dependent clause ("Because our favorite restaurant was closed") introduced by the subordinating conjunction "because" and an independent clause ("we decided to cook dinner at home"). A compound sentence has two or more independent clauses, and a compound - complex has multiple independent and dependent clauses. So this is a complex sentence.

Answer:

complex
