Final answer:

A complex sentence has one independent clause and at least one dependent clause, with the dependent clause relying on the independent clause for context.


Explanation:

Complex Sentence: A complex sentence consists of at least one independent clause and one dependent clause. The dependent clause relies on the information in the independent clause to make sense. For example:

  • a. After the rain ended, the sky became blue. (This sentence contains an independent clause 'the sky became blue' and a dependent clause 'After the rain ended').
