Explanation:

• For the sentence "Some tales say the wizard Merlin helped Arthur, but others don't include Mer":
• It has two independent clauses ("Some tales say the wizard Merlin helped Arthur" and "others don't include Mer") joined by "but".
• For the sentence "Because he freed the sword from the stone, Arthur proved he was the tru":
• "Because he freed the sword from the stone" is a dependent clause (starts with subordinating conjunction "Because") and "Arthur proved he was the tru" is an independent clause.

Answer:

• "Some tales say the wizard Merlin helped Arthur, but others don't include Mer": compound.
• "Because he freed the sword from the stone, Arthur proved he was the tru": complex.
