What is the sentence construction for the above sentence?

Answer 1

The sentence construction for the given sentence is a complex-compound sentence consisting of two independent clauses connected by a subordinating conjunction.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentence construction for the given sentence is a complex-compound sentence. It contains two independent clauses:

1. 'No, I do not have a spare car' and
2. 'because I do not want people asking to borrow it, I will not buy one'.

The first independent clause presents the fact that the speaker does not have a spare car. The second independent clause provides the reason for not buying a car. The dependent clause 'because I do not want people asking to borrow it' acts as a subordinating conjunction, connecting the two independent clauses.
