a.complex

b.simple

c.compound

d.compound-complex

Answer 1

notice how you have two independent clauses

(Cheryl made the frosting, and... Hanna made the gravy)

and before each of those independent clauses is a dependent clause

(While Paul made...) and (While Dimitri mashed...)

so based on that, which sentence structure do you think best describes this sentence?
