Explanation: The statement is true. A simple sentence can be converted to a complex sentence by expanding a verb or phrase into a subordinate clause.

Explanation: There are three types of subordinate clauses to which a verb or phrase can be expanded. They are noun clause, adjective clause and adverb clause.

Explanation: The subordinate clause here is adjective clause. The adjective here is ‘unforgivable’ which is expanded and thus it becomes an adjective clause.

Explanation: The correct complex sentence is : soon as you reach the gate, you will have to turn left. The subordinate clause used here is adverb clause.

Explanation: The correct simple sentence is : Her death at so early an age is sad. A complex sentence can be converted into a simple sentence by substituting a noun for the noun clause introduced by the conjunction ‘that’.

Explanation: The statement is true. A complex sentence can be converted into a simple sentence by using a compound noun. For example, Complex : The place where Buddha was cremated has been found. Simple : The place of Buddha’s cremation has been found.

Explanation: Four types of conjunctions are used for conversion of compound to complex sentences. They are : Cumulative conjunctions, alternative conjunctions, illative conjunctions and adversative conjunctions.

Explanation: The correct compound sentence is : He is wrong, and of this she is sure. While converting, the principal clause must be placed last and the subordinate clause must be placed first.

Explanation: The correct statement is: She is not prettier than me. Here a positive degree is converted into a comparative degree. It is possible to change the degree of comparison without changing the meaning of the sentence.

Explanation: The correct statement is : No other batsman is as good as Sachin. This is the positive degree. The comparative degree would be : Sachin is better than any other batsman.
