Question

Select the option that is a compound-complex sentence.
A The math exams were something that every student in school stressed about for weeks ahead of time.
B Even though most of the students knew the material, the stakes of the test worried them.
C Ice cream is small but enjoyable reward for hard work, the sisters thought.
D Although the students studied for weeks, they still felt nervous before the exam, and they double-checked their notes one last time.

Answer 1

D

Reason: It contains a dependent clause ("Although the students studied for weeks") plus two independent clauses joined by "and" ("they still felt nervous before the exam" and "they double-checked their notes one last time"), making it compound-complex.
