Question

Identify the type of sentence given below:
I have never seen an entity apart from the living, therefore I do not believe in the paranormal and the unexplainable.

• A. Simple Sentence
• B. Compound Sentence
• C. Complex Sentence
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B Compound Sentence

A compound sentence is made up of independent clauses, i.e., both clauses can stand as complete sentences. They use a coordinating conjunction to combine the clauses. The given sentence is made up of independent clauses, "I have never seen..." and "I do not believe..." which are combined using the coordinating conjunction "therefore". Hence it is a compound sentence and option B is correct. A simple sentence requires only one main clause and a complex sentence contains at least one independent and one dependent clause. Hence options A and C are incorrect. Option D is incorrect because the answer lies in B.
