Solution
The correct option is B False The statement is false. It is complex sentences (and not compound) which are formed using a main clause and a subordinate clause, where the latter can be an adverb clause. Compound sentences do not contain subordinate clauses. They are formed by independent clauses. Hence option B is correct and A is incorrect.
