1. _____________The theme of the dance this year is "classic romance."
2. _____________Sentence Structure


A. compound
B. simple
C. complex
D. compound-complex
E. subordinate
F. independent

Answer 1

This appears to be a independent clause with a simple sentence structure.

independent clauses can make sense on their own while subordinate clauses need to be with the rest of the sentence to make sense.

It is also a simple sentence structure because there are no uses of commas and conjunctions, etc.
