Answer:

1: Compound-complex sentence

2: Compound sentence

Explanation:

         We will determine which sentence type is used in each example. First, let us review the sentence types. Remember that an independent clause is a complete sentence on its own, while a dependent clause is dependent, it is not.

    Simple Sentence: Has one independent clause.

    Complex Sentence: Contains one independent and one dependent clause.

    Compound Sentence: Has two independent clauses joined by a conjunction. Conjunctions include and, but, for, yet, so, etc.

    Compound-Complex Sentence: Contains at least two independent clauses and one or more dependent clauses.

         Now, we will review the given examples.

    Although England has a better soccer team, their more aggressive style did not pay off, and they lost the tournament.

         This is a compound-complex sentence. We have one dependent clause ("although England has a better soccer team") and two independent clauses ("their more aggressive style did not pay off" and "they lost the tournament").

    Although my alarm clock went off on time, I was late for school this morning.

         This is a compound sentence. We have one dependent clause ("Although my alarm clock went off on time") and one independent clause ("I was late for school this morning").
