What type of sentence structure is shown in the sentence below? Jack raised his arms as he crossed the finish line at the Boston Marathon.
A) simple
B) compound
C) complex
D) compound-complex

C, complex

Explanation:

A complex sentence contains one independent clause (Jack raised his arms) and one or more dependent clauses (as he crossed the finish line at the Boston Marathon).

the sentence does not violate the phrase structure second rule (introduced by noam chomsky) because noun phrases consist of a determiner such as a, the or every, and a noun. in the sentence, the noun phrase the cake includes a determiner (the) and a noun (cake).

on the other hand, the first rule indicates that a sentence encloses a noun phrase, followed by a verb phrase. the example sentence can be analysed as follows:

john (n) + ate (v) + the (det) + cake (n).
