Convert the sentence into complex sentence and mark your answer in the response sheet.
He was indifferent and they punished him.
Answer: C
The complex sentence is As he was indifferent they punished him.
A complex sentence has one main clause and at least one subordinate clause. Here they punished him is the main clause, and as he was indifferent is a subordinate clause of reason, introduced by the conjunction as. The original compound sentence joined two independent clauses with and.
The other three keep the meaning but are simple sentences, each with a single finite verb: They punished him for his indifference, He was punished for his indifference and His indifference made them punish him. They turn the reason into a phrase, not a clause.
