Explanation:

Question 9

A simple sentence has one independent clause (a group of words with a subject and verb that can stand alone). Option A matches this definition. B is incorrect (dependent clauses can't stand alone), C is a compound sentence structure, D is not a standard simple sentence structure.

A complex sentence has one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. Option C has "Although he was tired" (dependent) and "he finished the race" (independent). A is simple, B is simple with a compound verb, D is compound (two independent clauses).

The complete subject includes all words that tell what the sentence is about. In "The old wooden bridge collapsed", "The old wooden bridge" is the complete subject. A is the simple subject, B is part of the subject, D is the verb.

Answer:

A. one independent clause
