Answer 1

Compound-complex sentence

Explanation: "Because the dog was asleep on the floor" is a dependent (subordinate) clause, and "the mouse got away" and "the cat was very disappointed" are two independent clauses joined by "and" — so the sentence has both a dependent clause and multiple independent clauses.
