Correct Answer: two or more co-ordinate clauses
A simple sentence is a sentence that consists of just one independent clause. A complex sentence is a sentence that contains an independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. A compound sentence has at least two independent clauses that have related ideas.The independent clauses can be joined by a coordinating conjunction (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so) or by a semicolon.
