Explanation:

To determine which sentence is structured differently, we analyze the conjunctions and sentence types:

• Sentence 1: Uses "and" (coordinating conjunction) to connect two independent clauses (compound sentence).
• Sentence 2: Uses "yet" (coordinating conjunction) to connect two independent clauses (compound sentence).
• Sentence 3: Uses "so" (coordinating conjunction) to connect two independent clauses (compound sentence).
• Sentence 4: Uses "Because" (subordinating conjunction) to introduce a dependent clause, making it a complex sentence (structure differs from the compound structure of the others).

Answer:

sentence 4
