Question

read the sentence.
on days when i go jogging in the morning, my mind seems to process ideas faster, and my mood is more positive.
how does the underlined clause add variety and meaning to the sentence?
○ it explains why jogging is beneficial.
○ it makes readers want to go jogging.
○ it creates a compound - complex sentence.
○ it adds detail about the speaker’s personality.

Explanation:

The underlined clause "On days when I go jogging in the morning" is a dependent clause. A compound - complex sentence has at least two independent clauses and at least one dependent clause. The main independent clauses are "my mind seems to process ideas faster" and "my mood is more positive", and the underlined part is a dependent clause. So it creates a compound - complex sentence. The clause does not directly explain why jogging is beneficial (it just sets the time context), it doesn't necessarily make readers want to jog, and it doesn't add detail about personality.

Answer:

It creates a compound - complex sentence.
