Solution

Explanation: A complex sentence consists of an independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. In this sentence: Independent clause: "She could not educate her son." Dependent clause: "that she was so poor" The dependent clause "that she was so poor" cannot stand alone as a complete sentence; it relies on the independent clause for context and meaning. Therefore, the sentence is classified as complex.
