Which of these is a simple sentence?
A The auditorium is being remodeled, so the concert was rescheduled for July.
B The concert will feature musicians from all over the world; the conductor is from Germany
C Local students and musicians will be invited to the performance.
D I want to attend the concert; however, I will be in Florida that day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The correct answer and explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The correct answer is C<\/strong>: “Local students and musicians will be invited to the performance.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n A simple sentence consists of a single independent clause, which contains a subject and a predicate and expresses a complete thought. In this case, the subject is “Local students and musicians” and the predicate is “will be invited to the performance.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let’s break down the other options to see why they are not simple sentences:<\/p>\n\n\n\n A<\/strong>: “The auditorium is being remodeled, so the concert was rescheduled for July.” B<\/strong>: “The concert will feature musicians from all over the world; the conductor is from Germany.” D<\/strong>: “I want to attend the concert; however, I will be in Florida that day.” In summary, option C<\/strong> is the only simple sentence because it contains a single independent clause, while the other options each consist of two independent clauses linked together, making them compound sentences.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Which of these is a simple sentence?A The auditorium is being remodeled, so the concert was rescheduled for July.B The concert will feature musicians from all over the world;

This is a compound sentence, consisting of two independent clauses connected by the conjunction “so.” The first clause is “The auditorium is being remodeled,” and the second is “the concert was rescheduled for July.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is also a compound sentence, with two independent clauses joined by a semicolon. The first independent clause is “The concert will feature musicians from all over the world,” and the second is “the conductor is from Germany.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Again, this is a compound sentence. It consists of two independent clauses: “I want to attend the concert” and “I will be in Florida that day,” separated by a semicolon. The word “however” is a transitional adverb connecting these two ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
