I am on a diet yet I want a cookie.
--> Compound
We can see the sentence has 2 independent clause and joined by subordinate conjuction it is compound sentence.
Answer:
A compound sentence.
Explanation:
A simple sentence is a sentence with only one independent clause.
A complex sentence is an independent clause joined to a dependent clause by a subordinating conjunction or relative pronoun.
A compound sentence has no dependent clauses and just independent ones.
In this sentence, I am on a diet yet I want a cookie, there are two independent clauses.
I am on a diet and I want a cookie. These two can stand on their own. They are connected by the subordination conjunction yet. There is an absence of a dependent clause here. This makes it a compound sentence.
