    Simple
  • b)
    Complex
  • c)

  • d)
    None
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Saikat Pillai answered
**Explanation:**

The given sentence is: "He did not take the money, for it was not the right thing to do."

This sentence is a **compound sentence** because it contains two independent clauses joined by the coordinating conjunction "for."

**Independent clauses** are clauses that can stand alone as complete sentences because they express a complete thought.

In the given sentence, we have two independent clauses:

1. "He did not take the money."
2. "For it was not the right thing to do."

These two independent clauses are joined by the coordinating conjunction "for." The coordinating conjunction "for" shows a cause-and-effect relationship between the two independent clauses. It indicates that the reason for not taking the money is that it was not the right thing to do.

Therefore, the sentence is a compound sentence as it consists of two independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction.

Introduction:


In this question, we are given a sentence and we have to identify its type based on structure. The given sentence is "Mom said that I can go to the museum with you but I have to be home early."

Explanation:


To identify the type of sentence, we need to understand the structure and components of the given sentence.

Components of the sentence:
1. Mom said
2. that I can go to the museum with you
3. but I have to be home early.

Structure of the sentence:
The given sentence consists of two main clauses connected by the coordinating conjunction "but". It also includes a subordinating conjunction "that" which introduces a dependent clause.

Identification:
Based on the structure of the sentence, we can conclude that it is a compound sentence because it consists of two independent clauses (Mom said that I can go to the museum with you and I have to be home early) connected by the coordinating conjunction "but".

Explanation of other options:
- Complex sentence: A complex sentence consists of one independent clause and at least one dependent clause. The given sentence does not meet this criteria as it consists of two independent clauses.
- Simple sentence: A simple sentence consists of only one independent clause. The given sentence consists of two independent clauses, so it is not a simple sentence.
- None: This option is incorrect as the given sentence does have a structure and can be identified as a compound sentence.

Conclusion:
The given sentence "Mom said that I can go to the museum with you but I have to be home early" is a compound sentence. It consists of two independent clauses connected by the coordinating conjunction "but".

    Simple
  • b)
    Compound
  • c)
    Complex
  • d)

Akshita Reddy answered
Explanation:

The given sentence is an example of a complex sentence. It consists of one independent clause and one dependent clause.

Independent clause: Although it rained well

Dependent clause: the crops were not good this year

The independent clause can stand alone as a complete sentence, but the dependent clause cannot. It needs the independent clause to complete its meaning.

Types of Sentences:
There are four types of sentences:
1. Simple
2. Compound
3. Complex
4. Compound-Complex

Simple Sentence:
A simple sentence consists of only one independent clause. It expresses a complete thought and can stand alone as a sentence.
Example: She sings well.

Compound Sentence:
A compound sentence consists of two or more independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction.
Example: She loves to dance, and he loves to sing.

Complex Sentence:
A complex sentence consists of one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. The dependent clauses cannot stand alone as a sentence.
Example: Although it rained well, the crops were not good this year.

Compound-Complex Sentence:
A compound-complex sentence consists of two or more independent clauses and one or more dependent clauses.
Example: She loves to dance, but he prefers to sing when he's alone, and they both enjoy listening to music together.

Thus, the given sentence "Although it rained well, the crops were not good this year" is an example of a complex sentence.

Which of the following is not a compound sentence?
  • a)
    I used to be Snow White, but I drifted
  • b)
    Trust but Verify
  • c)
    I am not hungry anymore
  • d)
    A man may die, nations may rise and fall, but an idea lives on
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Understanding Compound Sentences
A compound sentence is formed when two or more independent clauses are joined by a coordinating conjunction (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so). Each clause can stand alone as a complete sentence.
Analyzing the Options
- Option A: "I used to be Snow White, but I drifted."
This is a compound sentence because it has two independent clauses:
1. "I used to be Snow White"
2. "I drifted"
These clauses are connected by the conjunction "but."
- Option B: "Trust but Verify."
This phrase can be seen as a compound structure due to the conjunction "but," but it lacks a complete second clause. Hence, it's more of a phrase than a full compound sentence.
- Option C: "I am not hungry anymore."
This is a simple sentence with only one independent clause. It does not have another clause to form a compound structure. Therefore, it is not a compound sentence.
- Option D: "A man may die, nations may rise and fall, but an idea lives on."
This is a compound sentence as it comprises three independent clauses:
1. "A man may die"
2. "nations may rise and fall"
3. "an idea lives on"
These are connected by "but" and a comma.
Conclusion
Thus, the correct answer is option 'C' because it is a simple sentence and does not contain multiple independent clauses, making it the only option that is not a compound sentence.
