Answer 1

Compound and complex sentence

Answer 2

Answer:

Because he was late, he missed the first period. The sentence is a Compound complex sentence.

Explanation:

A simple sentence has a subject and a predicate, and it expresses an entire thought as an independent clause. There are no dependent or subordinate clauses in simple sentences.

A compound sentence is made up of two independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction and a comma or by a semicolon alone.

A complex sentence is made up of a dependent clause and an independent clause. When the dependent clause comes before the independent clause, a comma separates the two clauses; otherwise, no punctuation is required.

A compound-complex sentence has two or more independent clauses and one or more dependent clauses. Because compound-complex sentences are typically longer than other sentences, punctuation is critical.
