Question #N504
The following passage discusses the work of a famous playwright. The sentence beginning with "Yet" is an example of a specific type of sentence used in writing. What type of sentence is it?
Which choice best describes the sentence beginning with "Yet" in the passage?
A. A compound sentence
B. A complex sentence
C. A simple sentence
D. A run-on sentence
Correct Answer is: B
A complex sentence is a sentence that contains one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. The sentence beginning with "Yet" contains the independent clause "Yet" and the dependent clause "[s]he has also become known for her work as a novelist." So the sentence is a complex sentence.
