Which of the following clauses turns the clause into a complex sentence

OpenStudy (.th3_m0nst3r.):

Do you have some examples?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

An airplane has wings like a bird,... A. But they do not flap like a bird's wings B. Even though they do not flap like a bird's wings C. So it can use wind currents

OpenStudy (.th3_m0nst3r.):

Which one do you think is correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B.

OpenStudy (.th3_m0nst3r.):

Why do you say that "B" is correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Honesty I'm not sure, I guess it explains it better

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you explain to me a complex sentence

OpenStudy (.th3_m0nst3r.):

A complex sentence contains both an independent clause and a dependent clause. An example of an independent clause: The sunset lit up the sky. An example of a dependent clause: And made the sky pretty. A complex sentence combining these: The sunset lit up the sky and made the sky pretty.

OpenStudy (.th3_m0nst3r.):

The given sentence is independent because it does not need any more information to make it complete. So, to make it a complex sentence, we must find the dependent clause to go with it. Keep in mind that dependent clauses start with conjunctions, such as "as", "and", and "but."

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh ok, I get it, that makes a lot of sense

OpenStudy (.th3_m0nst3r.):

Awesome! Is anything else confusing you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Um B. Doesn't contain as,and,or but

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do I take it out when combining both

OpenStudy (.th3_m0nst3r.):

Right, so it can't be B. We need the sentence that contains conjunctions such as "as," "and," or "but."

OpenStudy (.th3_m0nst3r.):

Also, no, there is no need to take out the conjunction.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So A. will be my answer

OpenStudy (.th3_m0nst3r.):

That's correct!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks!
