Although the tree squirrel is a wonderful acrobat, it sometimes misses its mark

Question

simple, compound, or complex

Answer 1

The sentence "Although the tree squirrel is a wonderful acrobat, it sometimes misses its mark" is a complex sentence.

This is because it contains an independent clause ("it sometimes misses its mark") and a dependent clause ("Although the tree squirrel is a wonderful acrobat"). The dependent clause cannot stand alone as a complete sentence, which is characteristic of complex sentences.
