Read the paragraph, which is a summary of a slave narrative by Olaudah Equiano.

[1] Robert King was a Quaker merchant and a kind man, and he treated Equiano well. [2] He used Equiano to work at a number of jobs for him, yet he also hired him out to other merchants. [3] A certain boat captain of King's, Thomas Farmer, often traveled between the West Indies and North America, so he needed Equiano's services. [4] Because Equiano had sea-going experience, he could be quite useful to Farmer.

Sentences 1–3 join two independent clauses with coordinating conjunctions (and/yet/so). Sentence 4 begins with a subordinate clause ("Because..."), making it a complex sentence.
