Answer 1

The sentence "Because of a nasty foot fungus, Janice's shoes smelled like moldy cheese." is a complex sentence.

A complex sentence contains one independent clause ("Janice's shoes smelled like moldy cheese") and one dependent clause ("Because of a nasty foot fungus"). The dependent clause cannot stand alone as a complete sentence, which is characteristic of complex sentences.
