Answer 2

Answer:

The match was cancelled owing to a heavy downpour.

Explanation:

A simple sentence is one that has only 1 finite verb.
We also identify such sentences with the absence of conjunctions or continuous punctuations - commas, colons and semicolons.
They usually consist of only 1 clause.

However, the given sentence is compound, because it has 2 finite verbs.
We also note that compound verbs can also have continuous punctuations - commas, colons and semicolons.
Additionally, they could consist of more than 1 clause.

Thus, to change the given sentence into a simple one, we remove the helping verb "was", and convert it to "The match was canceled owing to a heavy downpour."
