What is the structure of the following sentence?
although i have already visited africa, i would certainly like to return.

a.)simple
b.)compound
c.)compound-complex
d.)complex

The correct answer is actually letter D) complex.

Explanation:

For this sentence to be a compound-complex one, it would need to have at least three clauses, two independent ones plus one dependent one. That is not the case here, since we have only two clauses:

1. Although I have visited Africa

2. I would certainly like to return

The main clause is the second one, "I would certainly like to return (to Africa)." The first one is a dependent clause started by the subordinating conjunction "although", which introduces an idea of contrast. Since we have one independent clause - a clause that expresses a complete idea on its own - and one dependent one - a clause that needs a main clause to express a full idea -, we have a complex sentence. The best option is, therefore, letter D.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
