Question

which sentences are complex sentences? check all that apply. some people travel to cities; other people travel to rural areas. when you experience a new place, it enhances your understanding of other people. after traveling to a national park, people feel a greater appreciation for nature. you should travel somewhere you have never been because you can explore a new place. you can even travel to a new area near your home, and some people call this a \staycation.\

Explanation:

To determine complex sentences, we identify those with an independent clause and at least one dependent clause (introduced by subordinating conjunctions like "when," "after," "because").

1. "Some people travel to cities; other people travel to rural areas." – Two independent clauses (semicolon), so compound, not complex.
2. "When you experience a new place, it enhances your understanding of other people." – Dependent clause ("When you experience a new place") + independent clause ("it enhances..."), so complex.
3. "After traveling to a national park, people feel a greater appreciation for nature." – Dependent clause ("After traveling to a national park") + independent clause ("people feel..."), so complex.
4. "You should travel somewhere you have never been because you can explore a new place." – Independent clause ("You should travel...") + dependent clause ("because you can explore..."), so complex.
5. "You can even travel to a new area near your home, and some people call this a 'staycation'." – Two independent clauses (conjunction "and"), so compound, not complex.

B. When you experience a new place, it enhances your understanding of other people.
