Question

which type of sentence is this? paula is a competitive horseback rider, and she will be competing in the next world equestrian games, which are held every four years. simple compound complex compound - complex

Explanation:

To determine the sentence type, we analyze its structure:

1. A compound - complex sentence has at least two independent clauses and at least one dependent clause.

• Independent clauses: "Paula is a competitive horseback rider" and "she will be competing in the next World Equestrian Games".
• Dependent clause: "which are held every four years" (a relative clause modifying "World Equestrian Games").
• A simple sentence has one independent clause. A compound sentence has two or more independent clauses (no dependent clauses). A complex sentence has one independent clause and at least one dependent clause. Since this sentence has two independent clauses and one dependent clause, it is compound - complex.

Answer:

compound - complex
