Solution

failed
failed
Answer

The answer is compound.

Explanation
Option 1: Compound

A compound sentence consists of two or more independent clauses joined by a conjunction or a semicolon. In this sentence, "I have to work hard at algebra" and "I enjoy the subject" are both independent clauses. They are joined by the semicolon and the transitional word "nevertheless," which makes it a compound sentence.

Option 2: Compound/Complex

A compound/complex sentence contains at least two independent clauses and one or more dependent clauses. This sentence does not have any dependent clauses, so it cannot be classified as compound/complex.

Option 3: Simple

A simple sentence contains only one independent clause. This sentence has two independent clauses, so it is not simple.

Option 4: Complex

A complex sentence contains one independent clause and at least one dependent clause. This sentence does not have any dependent clauses, so it is not complex.
