Answer 1

The sentence is a compound-complex sentence.

A compound-complex sentence contains at least two independent clauses and at least one dependent clause. In this case, the sentence includes the independent clause "Aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart made her historic solo transatlantic flight in 1932" and the dependent clause "whose first flight across the Atlantic in 1928 was as a passenger." Therefore, the correct response is compound-complex.
