Explanation:

Sub - question 1:

A compound - complex sentence has at least two independent clauses and at least one dependent clause. The sentence "According to the dictionary, the denotation of blue is that it is a primary color; however, the connotation to me is the color of our children’s eyes." has two independent clauses ("the denotation of blue is that it is a primary color" and "the connotation to me is the color of our children’s eyes") and the dependent clause "According to the dictionary" (a prepositional phrase acting as an adverbial dependent clause). Also, it uses a semicolon and the conjunctive adverb "however" to connect the clauses, fitting the compound - complex structure.

1. First, look at the sentence structure. The part "According to the dictionary, the denotation of blue is that it is a primary color" is separated from the next part by a semicolon.
2. Then, the word "however" is used after the semicolon. So the punctuations used are a comma (after "dictionary"), a semicolon (between the two main parts of the sentence), and a comma (after "however").

In the context of sentence structure and grammar, "however" functions as a conjunctive adverb. Conjunctive adverbs are used to connect independent clauses and show relationships like contrast, addition, or cause - effect.

Answer:

It is a compound - complex sentence.
