Answer:

Complex sentence

Step-by-step explanation:

A sentence can be defined as a group of words that comprises of both a subject and predicate used to convey a logical information. Sentences are classified into four (4) main categories and these includes;

I. Simple sentence.

II. Compound sentence.

III. Complex sentence.

IV. Compound-Complex sentence.

Generally, a compound-complex sentence is formed through the combination of a compound sentence and a complex sentence.

Using a graphic organizer, we would have;

"Compound sentence + Complex sentence = Compound-complex sentence."

A compound-complex sentence comprises of a minimum of two independent clause and at least a dependent clause. Thus, a compound-complex sentence has at least two subordinate clause and as such it is a combination of complex and compound sentence with a conjunction.

Additionally, compound-complex sentences are usually very long compared to other types of sentence.
