While Ali reads novels, Zia reads comics, but Hassan reads only fairy tales.

Correct answer: D. Compound complex sentence

  • A. Simple sentence
  • B. Compound sentence
  • C. Complex sentence
  • D. Compound complex sentence

Explanation

The dependent clause (While Ali reads the novels) is attached to one independent clause (Zia reads comics), and another independent clause (Hassan reads only fairy tales) is joined with "but". This means the sentence has two independent clauses and one dependent clause, which makes it a compound-complex sentence.
