Answer to Question 1

Answer: B
Explanation: B) A compound sentence contains two completely independent clauses, both of which could stand as sentences on their own. The clause Insurance premiums have increased, could stand as a sentence on its own. Similarly, cost-of-living raises have not kept up could also stand as a sentence on its own.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D
Explanation: D) A complex sentence contains one main thought that could stand as an independent sentence on its own, and one subordinate thought that would not make sense if it were left to stand alone without the main independent clause.
