Which best identifies the structure of the sentence the rabbits live in the yard but are difficult to find is it a simple be compound see compound complex D complex?
The correct answer is compound sentence. A compound sentence contains at least two independent clauses, which is the case here: the first independent clause is The rabbits live in the yard + BUT + the second independent clause (they) are difficult to find. A simple sentence would have only one independent clause; a complex sentence would have at least one dependent clause (apart from one independent); a complex sentence would have at least two dependent clauses (apart from one independent).
For K12 users: The correct answer is A. simple. I took the test and got B.compound incorrect so if your in K12 and need the correct answer to this question, it's A. simple.
