A compound sentence is one where the sentence can have a dependent and independent clause.
independent clause: a group of words which can act as a sentence.
dependent clause: depends on the independent clause.
(e.g. ‘when it rang’ in ‘she answered the phone when it rang’).
Jill came in through the front door, she answered the phone, when it rang. (compound sentence)
I hope that helps.
Correction: a compound sentence is one which has two independent clauses.
independent clause: a group of words which can act as a sentence.

=)
Here are the corrections and explanations:
1. Several people listened, but nobody volunteered. This is a compound sentence because it has two independent clauses: "Several people listened" and "nobody volunteered."
2. Gina and Dave picked the wild flowers, and we arranged them. This is also a compound sentence because it has two independent clauses: "Gina and Dave picked the wild flowers" and "we arranged them."
3. Snow fell: winter was now upon us. This is a simple sentence, as it only has one independent clause.
4. Mrs. Smith may be in court, or she may be in her office. This is a compound sentence because it has two independent clauses: "Mrs. Smith may be in court" and "she may be in her office."
So, the revised answers are:
1. Compound
2. Compound
3. Simple
4. Compound
I hope this helps clarify the correct answers for you!
