Question:
Call your father as soon as you arrive in Antigonish.
Answer:
The answer Compound-Complex Sentence is not correct.
Explanation:
This is a complex sentence because it contains the dependent clause "as soon as you arrive in Antigonish." If that information were in a phrase instead of a clause, however, the sentence would be a simple sentence:
Call you father upon your arrival in Antigonish.
