Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: Complex Sentence

Explanation: āœ… Correct Answer: B) Complex Sentence šŸ“š Explanation: This is a complex sentence because it contains one independent clause ('we stayed indoors') and one dependent clause ('Since it was raining'). The dependent clause is introduced by the subordinating conjunction 'since' and cannot stand alone as a complete thought. A compound sentence would instead use a coordinating conjunction like 'and' or 'so'.
