Answer 1

C. Compound-Complex

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let`s see what are these types of sentences.

Simple - has one independent clause (it can stand on its own, has a subject and a verb)

Complex - has one independent clause and one or even more dependent clauses (they can not stand on its own but with an independent clause)

Compound - two or more independent clauses make what we call a compound clause

Compound-Complex - the most complicated type - it carries at least two independent clauses plus at least one dependent clause

The given sentence contains:

- dependent clause ( Because they have been preserved well over time)

- two independent clauses merged with a semicolon (many ancient scrolls can be read by those who know Hebrew; includee on the scrolls is the oldest spelling of "Jerusalem." )
