Question

question 3
the sentence on the right should be classified as a—
simple sentence
compound sentence
complex sentence
compound - complex sentence
if laura buys a computer desk, she can organize
er room better.

Explanation:

A simple sentence has one independent clause. A compound sentence has two or more independent clauses joined by a conjunction. A complex sentence has one independent clause and at least one dependent clause (introduced by a subordinating conjunction like "if"). The sentence "If Laura buys a computer desk, she can organize her room better" has a dependent clause ("If Laura buys a computer desk") and an independent clause ("she can organize her room better"), so it is a complex sentence.

Answer:

complex sentence
