The correct answer is A.
Step-by-step explanation:
The sentence "Undoubtedly, Mark will text us with the date and time of the meeting" is a simple sentence.
The sentence in question is a simple sentence since it includes one independent clause and expresses a complete thought, with 'Mark' as the subject who 'will text' the meeting details.
The sentence 'Undoubtedly, Mark will text us with the date and time of the meeting' is a simple sentence. A simple sentence contains one independent clause with a subject and a verb and expresses a complete thought. In this sentence, the subject is 'Mark' and the verb is 'will text'. There is no additional subordination or coordination that would classify it as a compound (two or more independent clauses) or complex sentence (an independent clause plus one or more dependent clauses).
The given statement, "Undoubtedly, Mark will text us with the date and time of the meeting," is a complex sentence. A complex sentence is characterized by the presence of an independent clause, which can stand alone as a complete sentence, and one or more dependent clauses that rely on the independent clause for meaning. In this case, the statement contains both an independent clause and a dependent clause.
The independent clause is "Mark will text us with the date and time of the meeting." This part of the sentence can function independently and convey a complete thought. The dependent clause, "Undoubtedly," adds a level of certainty or assurance to the statement but cannot stand alone as a complete sentence. The complexity arises from the combination of these two elements.
The complexity of this sentence structure enhances its expressiveness by introducing an element of certainty regarding Mark's action. It conveys not only the information about Mark texting the details but also adds a tone of confidence or assurance. Complex sentences are common in written and spoken language, allowing for more nuanced communication by incorporating various elements that contribute to the overall meaning of the statement.
