To determine which of the given sentences is a compound sentence, we need to understand what a compound sentence is. A compound sentence consists of two or more independent clauses (complete sentences) joined together with coordinating conjunctions (such as "and," "but," "or," "so," etc.) or with semicolons.
Let's analyze the given sentences:
A. "After it began to rain, he could not find his umbrella."
This sentence contains two independent clauses: "After it began to rain" and "he could not find his umbrella." However, they are not joined together with a coordinating conjunction or a semicolon. Therefore, sentence A is not a compound sentence.
B. "They met after work for a game of tennis."
This sentence contains only one independent clause. Therefore, sentence B is not a compound sentence.
C. "She liked her neighbors, but she rarely saw them."
This sentence contains two independent clauses: "She liked her neighbors" and "she rarely saw them." These clauses are joined together with the coordinating conjunction "but." Therefore, sentence C is a compound sentence.
D. "The afternoon meeting extended into the evening hours."
This sentence contains only one independent clause. Therefore, sentence D is not a compound sentence.
So, the compound sentence is C. "She liked her neighbors, but she rarely saw them."
