Explanation:
Let’s go through each question one by one, using clear definitions:
1.
What type of sentence contains 1 subject and 1 predicate?
- A *simple sentence* has exactly one independent clause — that means one subject and one predicate (verb phrase).
✔ Correct answer:
A. simple sentence
2.
What type of sentence contains 1 independent clause and 1 dependent clause?
- An *independent clause* can stand alone; a *dependent clause* cannot.
- One independent + one dependent = a
complex sentence.
✔ Correct answer:
C. complex sentence
3.
What type of sentence contains 2 or more independent clauses?
- Two or more independent clauses joined (usually by a comma + coordinating conjunction like *and*, *but*, *or*) =
compound sentence.
✔ Correct answer:
A. compound sentence
4.
What type of sentence contains 2 or more independent clauses and at least 1 dependent clause?
- This is the most complex structure: multiple independent clauses + at least one dependent clause =
compound-complex sentence.
✔ Correct answer:
D. compound-complex sentence
5.
Lyndon Johnson attended a teacher's college and later studied law.
- Let’s break it down:
- “Lyndon Johnson attended a teacher's college” → independent clause
- “and later studied law” → second independent clause (same subject, connected by *and*)
- So: two independent clauses, no dependent clause →
compound sentence.
✔ Correct answer:
D. Compound
6.
San Francisco is located in northern California, but Los Angeles is located in southern California.
- “San Francisco is located…” → independent clause
- “but Los Angeles is located…” → second independent clause
- Joined by *but* (a coordinating conjunction) →
compound sentence
✔ Correct answer:
B. Compound
