Answer:

Simple Sentence-

Ms. Norris loves reading all kinds of books.

Compound Sentence-

I enjoy science fiction, but my favorite genre is romantic fiction.

Complex Sentence-

Kadijah can recite several poems by heart; therefore, her friends are impressed.

When Kadijah and Cal read the same folktale, they realized how interesting folktales can be.

Compound-Complex sentence-

Some students tell me that T. S. Elliot writes very plain poems, but others insist that he writes bizarre poems.

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple sentences are those sentences that contain simple, one subject, one verb structure of a sentence. "Ms. Norris loves reading all kinds of books" is a simple sentence with a single subject "Ms. Norris" and single verb "loves".

Compound sentences contain two independent clauses joined by one of the coordinating conjunctions for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so (FANBOYS). "I enjoy science fiction, but my favorite genre is romantic fiction" is a compound sentence with the presence or use of the coordinating conjunction "but".

A complex sentence contains one dependent clause joined to an independent clause by a subordinating conjunction. The two sentences "Kadijah can recite several poems by heart; therefore, her friends are impressed" and "When Kadijah and Cal read the same folktale, they realized how interesting folktales can be" are complex sentences by the use of the subordinating conjunctions "therefore" and "when".

A compound-complex sentence contains both cases of compound and complex sentences, the subordinating as well as the coordinating conjunction along with a dependent clause. The use of the conjunctions "that" and "but" makes the sentence "Some students tell me that T. S. Elliot writes very plain poems, but others insist that he writes bizarre poems" a compound-complex sentence.
