question 3 of 20
which statement is an example of a simple sentence?
a. i would really, truly like to help you with that rather enormous problem.
b. cars tend to be expensive, but airplanes are in a price range of their own.
c. penguins huddle together during the winter months, but some still freeze.
d. although he denies them, dr. vasquez faced several scandals last year.

Explanation:

A simple sentence has one independent clause (subject + predicate) and no dependent clauses or conjunctions joining multiple clauses. Option A has one subject ("I") and one predicate ("would really, truly like to help you with that rather enormous problem"). Options B, C use "but" (coordinating conjunction for compound sentences), and D uses "Although" (subordinating conjunction for complex sentences).

Answer:

A. I would really, truly like to help you with that rather enormous problem.
