Explanation:

Define complex sentence structure

A complex sentence contains exactly one independent clause and at least one dependent clause.

Analyze the first three sentences

  • "The thing I like least about the weekend is Sunday evening."

This contains a relative clause "I like least about the weekend" modifying "thing". It is a complex sentence.

  • "It's the furthest point away from Friday, but it's also the closest point to yet another Monday morning."

Two independent clauses joined by "but". This is a compound sentence.

  • "I'd give anything to win the lottery."

One independent clause with an infinitive phrase. This is a simple sentence.

Analyze the next two sentences

  • "It'd save me from yet another commute to work, battling through the honking traffic and stinking fumes."

One independent clause with participial phrases. This is a simple sentence.

  • "According to the Medical Gazette, fighting through the rush hour causes excess stress hormones to build up in your blood stream."

One independent clause with a prepositional phrase and gerund subject. This is a simple sentence.

Analyze the final three sentences

  • "Over time, all that damage takes years off your life."

One independent clause. This is a simple sentence.

  • "For me, that's yet another good reason to hit the snooze button and slide back under the duvet."

One independent clause with infinitive phrases. This is a simple sentence.

  • "It's only Sunday morning after all!"

One independent clause. This is a simple sentence.

The complex sentence in the extract is:
