Which type of sentence has at least one independent and one dependent clause? a. compound b. simple c. complex d. structured

The correct answer is C.

Complex sentences are formed from one independent clause and at least one dependent ( subordinate ) clause.

An independent clause can stand alone as a sentence and it makes a complete thought.

A dependent clause can not stand alone, even thought it has a subject and a verb.

The two clauses in a complex sentence are not structurally equal. Both clauses express related thoughts but only one acts as the foundation of the sentence.

An example : My sister smiled when I entered the room.

My sister smiled is an independent clause

When I  entered the room is a dependent clause

when is the subordinating conjunction
