Question

Which sentence from the passage is complex? a)The panther paused to sniff the humid night air. b) It heard noises up ahead, but it did not recognize the sounds. c)The strange noises continued, and the panther became frightened. d)The panther crept into a cave because it was afraid.

Answer 1

The correct answer would be D

Answer 2

I believe the correct answer would be D. The complex sentence would be "The panther crept into a cave because it was afraid." A complex sentence would be a sentence that contains an independent and an dependent clause. The independent clause would be "The panther crept into a cave" while the dependent would be "because it was afraid".
