The correct option that best combines the two simple sentences into one compound sentence while maintaining the meaning of the original sentences is:
Maverick needed to go to the store, and his dog wanted to go with him.
To determine the correct option, we should combine the two simple sentences into one compound sentence. The first option "Maverick and his dog went to the store" does combine the sentences, but it changes the tense and doesn't include the information about Maverick's need to go to the store. The third option "Because Maverick needed to go to the store, his dog wanted to go with him" is a complex sentence that introduces a cause-effect relationship, which is not present in the original sentences. The fourth option "Because his dog wanted to go with him, Maverick needed to go to the store" presents a cause-effect relationship in the opposite order as in the original sentences.
Therefore, the second option "Maverick needed to go to the store, and his dog wanted to go with him" is the best choice as it combines the two simple sentences into one compound sentence while maintaining the meaning of the original sentences.
