Complex

A complex sentence contains a dependent clause and an independent clause. A dependent clause cannot stand alone. The dependent clause in this sentence is "Because I already said yes to someone else". This is not a complete thought by itself. The reader is left hanging. The independent clause in this sentence is "I can't go to the dance with you." This is a complete thought that can stand alone. These two elements make up a complex sentence.

A compound sentence is a sentence that has two independent clauses that are joined with a conjunction. As in "I am excited for the dance, so I bought my dress already". Both halves of this sentence are complete thoughts. A compound complex sentence contains a compound sentence and a dependent clause attached to it.

the question concerns exactly this part of the speech:

i am not now thinking of the loss of property involved, immense and serious as that is, but only of the wanton and wholesale destruction of the lives of non-combatants, men, women, and children, engaged in pursuits which have always, even in the darkest periods of modern history, been deemed innocent and legitimate. property can be paid for; the lives of the peaceful and innocent people cannot be.

president wilson talks about the lives of people destroyed by german army. but these people are not americans, they are the local people living in europe. the president mentions the barbarity of germans, considering that he is not targeting the nation, instead it is said about german army. the correct answer is the last one.

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.
