ans: SS (simple)
13. In the springtime the days are longer, and the sun shines through the windows, warming my soul with its rays after the gloomy gray days of winter.

14. I can accept the rain and wind since I know that these two elements are important to water the earth and then to dry it back out again.

15. With the rain and sunshine come the flowers, and their bright colors brighten my life.
ans: cx (complex)

10 and 11 are correct.
~ Simple = 1 independent clause
~ Compound = 2 independent clauses (each could be a sentence on its own), joined by a FANBOYS conjunction or a semicolon
~ Complex = 1 independent clause + at least 1 dependent clause (these have subordinating conjunctions or relative pronouns at/near the start of the clause)
~ Compound-complex = 2 independent clauses, joined correctly + at least 1 dependent clause
(A phrase is a group of words that work together but DO NOT have subject-verb in them.)
<b>13 is compound. Here's why:</b>
In the springtime the days are longer, = independent clause
and the sun shines through the windows, = independent clause
warming my soul with its rays after the gloomy gray days of winter. = phrase, not clause
Let me know what you think about 14, 15, and 16. Take them apart as I did #13.
