| Why don't you try it yourself first, and explain your choice in each case? That way, it is easier for others to help. If you have no idea where to begin, search Google for a page on "compound complex sentence" and study it. |

I believe your answers are correct, except no. 4 and no. 5: I'd call no. 4 complex, no. 5 compound-complex.
In no. 4, the Arabs and others separated by commas are not clauses, that's why there are no coordinate clauses in it.
In no. 5, the full stop is wrong: it must be a comma. Otherwise, there'd be two sentences. The "unless" clause is subordinate; the next two clauses, separated by a semicolon, are coordinate. |
