Respuesta :

Answer:

I'm pretty sure its compound.

Explanation:

It's because for compound sentences the transition words are for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so, or a semi colon and this sentence contains the word "and".

The given sentence is an example of a compound-complex sentence.

What are the different types of sentences?

The sentences can be categorised into three main types:

  • Simple sentences: A sentence which is simple statement and contains only one independent clause is known as a simple sentence.
  • Complex sentences: A sentence which contains atleast one dependent or subordinate clause is known as complex sentences.
  • Compound sentences: The sentences which contain independent clauses joined using conjunctions are known as compound sentences.

Given sentence:

Because of the high winds, the fire may spread rapidly, and we have been ordered to evacuate.

Here, there are three parts of the sentence out of which two are independent clauses and one is a dependent clause.

Therefore, the correct answer is (D) a compound-complex sentence.
