Question

the movement of the progress bar may be uneven because questions can be worth more or less (including zero) depending on your answer. which of the following is a compound - complex sentence? because miklos is a physical therapist, he has very strong opinions about alternative medicine. because miklos is a physical therapist, he has very strong opinions about alternative medicine, but he hasnt shared them with me. miklos, a physical therapist, has very strong opinions about alternative medicine. miklos is a physical therapist, so he has very strong opinions about alternative medicine.

Explanation:

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

• The first option “Because Miklos is a physical therapist, he has very strong opinions about alternative medicine” has one dependent clause (“Because Miklos is a physical therapist”) and one independent clause (“he has very strong opinions about alternative medicine”), so it is a complex sentence, not compound - complex.
• The second option “Because Miklos is a physical therapist, he has very strong opinions about alternative medicine, but he hasn't shared them with me” has one dependent clause (“Because Miklos is a physical therapist”) and two independent clauses (“he has very strong opinions about alternative medicine” and “he hasn't shared them with me”), so it is a compound - complex sentence.
• The third option “Miklos, a physical therapist, has very strong opinions about alternative medicine” is a simple sentence.
• The fourth option “Miklos is a physical therapist, so he has very strong opinions about alternative medicine” has two independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction, so it is a compound sentence.

Answer:

Because Miklos is a physical therapist, he has very strong opinions about alternative medicine, but he hasn't shared them with me.
