Question

Choose the type of sentence given below:
The sun rose high and the birds began to sing.

• A. Compound Sentence
  
• B. Simple Sentence
  
• C. Complex with subordinate noun clause
• D. Complex with subordinate adverb clause

Answer 1

The correct option is A Compound Sentence

A compound sentence has at least two independent clauses joined together by coordinating conjunctions like "and". Here the clauses are "the..high" and "the birds...sing". These are joined together by the coordinating conjunction "And". Hence, Option A is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to the goal, hence incorrect.
