Answer from: carma43

The two sentences are simple sentences on their own. Some examples of compound, complex and compound-complex sentences using them are the following:

The car trip took forever, for my dad drove so slowly. Compound sentence formed by two independent clauses linked by the coordinator "for".

Since my father drove so slowly, the car trip took forever. Complex sentence formed by an independent clause and a dependent clause introduced by the adverb of reason "since". Both are separated by a comma.

My dad drove so slowly, and the car trip took forever because of him doing so. Compound-complex sentence formed by two independent clauses linked by the coordinator "and" and one independent clause introduced by the adverb of reason "because".

Answer from: jennyrr9021

1) The car trip took forever

2) My dad drove so slowly and the car trip took forever

3) The car trip took forever because my dad drove so slowly

4) I had a fever and the car trip took forever because my dad drove so slowly

Explanation:

A simple sentence is a sentence with one independent clause, and no dependent or subordinate clauses (1). Sentence 1 consists of one subject (the car trip) and a single predicate (took forever). On the contrary, a compound sentence joins two or more independent clauses with a coordinator such as and, for, or, but, or a semicolon (2). In sentence 2, the two independent clauses have been joined by the coordinator and.

Then, sentence 3 is a complex sentence. A complex sentence is a sentence that contains an independent clause (the car trip took forever) and two or more dependent clauses that depend on the main one to complete their meaning (because my dad drove so slowly). "Because my dad drove so slowly" is a dependent clause since it fails to stand on its own because it is not a complete sentence (it lacks either the subject or the predicate). Finally, sentence 4 is a compound-complex sentence, a combination of the last two. A compound-complex sentence is a compound sentence (I had a fever and the car trip took forever) with at least one dependent clause (because my dad drove so slowly).

Me asap i will give brainliest to the first correct answer this is urgent major test (1) wayne gretzky once said, “you’ll always miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” (2) life would be dull and boring if no one took risks. (3) many people have accomplished astonishing things because they took a risk. (4) in other words, my mind is set on the belief that it’s worthwhile to take risks. (5) one reason to take a risk is that you can learn from your mistakes, and that allows you to accomplish your goal correctly the next time. (6) for instance, the wright brothers dreamed of being able to fly. (7) they decided to invent the airplane. (8) certainly, they weren’t able to construct it perfectly the first time, so they took a risk and kept trying until they finally got it right. (9) because they learned from their mistakes, that encouraged them to continue to work hard and succeed at inventing one of todays most convenient inventions, the airplane. (10) another reason to take risks is that you can form relationships. (11) a good example of this is the play, “novio boy” by gary soto. (12) rudy, the main character, asks patricia, his crush, to go on a date with him. (13) he took a risk because she is older than him, and rudy wasn’t sure of what she would say. (14) fortunately, patricia agreed to go out with him. (15) therefore, taking risks can be positive and you form relationships. (16) in conclusion, you never know what you are capable of until you take a risk. (17) there could be many motives that could make you want to take a risk. (18) the result could turn out to be either good or bad. (19) despite the consequences, you never know what you could achieve before you take the risk. what change, if any, is needed in sentence 4? question 2 options: delete the comma after words change risks to risk change its to it's make no change
