Good work!
- Question:
- Suzanne wanted to be here, but she cannot come because her car is in the shop.
- Answer:
- The answer compound-complex sentence is correct.
- Explanation:
- This is a compound-complex sentence. First, it contains two independent clauses—Suzanne wanted to be here and she cannot come because her car is in the shop—joined by the co-ordinating conjunction but. The second independent clause, however, contains the dependent clause because her car is in the shop making the sentence complex as well as compound.
