Which examples are simple sentences? Choose three correct answers.

A simple sentence has one independent clause and no dependent clause. B has one independent clause: “Reading novels” is the subject, and “is” introduces the predicate. D also has one independent clause, with “Some” as the subject; E has one independent clause, with “One of the best ways to learn about history” as the subject. A and C include dependent clauses beginning with “that” and “if,” respectively, so they are not simple sentences.
