Explanation:

A simple sentence is a sentence that consists of only one independent clause. An independent clause must contain the subject and the predicate and express a complete thought. The sentence that meets these criteria is: The annual general meeting will be held next Monday.

A complex sentence is a sentence that consists of one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. Dependent clauses provide additional information about what is being described in the independent clause. They can't stand on their own as sentences because their meaning is not complete. The complex sentence here is: When the man trained hard, he was able to run a marathon in under three hours. (the underlined part is the dependent sentence)

A compound sentence is a sentence that consists of two or more independent clauses connected by a semicolon or conjunction: Make an appointment to see one of our career advisors or find information on our dedicated website. This sentence is made up of two independent clauses:

first of all, dante wanted to write an account of the search for spiritual atonement and salvation, and this desire drew heavily from dante's own experiences. dante was living in exile while writing inferno and so, much like his poetic counterpart, he felt like he had lost his way and needed direction.
