Question

If a sentence contains only one finite verb, it is called.

• A. Complex sentence
• B. Compound sentence
• C. Simple sentence
• D. Paragraph

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Simple sentence

Option C is the correct answer. When there is only one finite verb in a sentence, there is also one clause, which eliminates its possibility of being a complex or a compound sentence. A number of sentences make up a paragraph. Since the question pertains to the makings of a single sentence, Option D is inconsequential to the question. Thus, Options A,B and D are all incorrect.
