Answer 2

The expansion of the given sentence to make it meaningful is as follows:-

I saw a man who was distributing fliers at the avenue.

• The addition of the clause has made the given sentence into a complex sentence.
• sentences are of three types - simple, compound and complex.
• a simple sentence has only one independent clause.
• a compound sentence is formed of two independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction.
• a complex sentence is formed of an independent main clause and a dependent sub-clause, joined by a subordinate conjunction.
• Here "who" is the subordinate conjunction, "I saw a man" is the main clause, and "who was distributing fliers at the avenue" is the sub-clause.
