2.1.politicians always promise their supporters a better life although some of the promises are never fulfilled. This is a complex sentence because it is made up of an independent clause and a rather dependent clause conjoined by the conjunction 'although'.

2.2.the magistrate grants bail to the defendant. This is a simple sentence because it comprises a verb and a subsequently single completed thought.
