Question

is this a simple or a compound sentence? the lizard rested on a rock. choose 1 answer: a its a compound sentence. b its a simple sentence.

Explanation:

A simple sentence has one independent clause (a subject and a predicate that expresses a complete thought). The sentence "The lizard rested on a rock" has a subject ("The lizard") and a predicate ("rested on a rock") and expresses a complete thought. A compound sentence has at least two independent clauses joined by a conjunction or punctuation, which this sentence does not have. So it is a simple sentence.

Answer:

B. It's a simple sentence.
