Question

true or false:
a sentence that includes an independent clause and at least one dependent clause is called a compound sentence.
t
f

Explanation:

Analyze the sentence structure definition

A sentence containing one independent clause and at least one dependent clause is defined as a complex sentence, not a compound sentence.

Define a compound sentence

A compound sentence consists of two or more independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction or a semicolon, with no dependent clauses.

Evaluate the statement

Since the statement incorrectly defines a complex sentence as a compound sentence, the statement is false.

Answer:

• T
• F (Correct answer)
