These are your instructions, right?

(combine the above four sentence using complex compound sentence.)
You have written two sentences instead of one, and neither is a compound-complex sentence. Are you clear on the meaning of "compound-complex"?
My question is this: Do you have to combine those original 4 into 1 long sentence? Or is it OK to combine the 4 so they make up 2 sentences?
One correction to avoid a run-on:
Once I got home, I regretted the expensive purchase, and I vowed to return one of the sweaters.
Yes, both sentences are correct.
Sentence 1:
"Even though I couldn't decide which of the two sweaters to buy, the saleswoman convinced me to take both."
This sentence expresses that the speaker had difficulty deciding between two sweaters but ultimately ended up buying both because the saleswoman convinced them to do so.
Sentence 2:
"Since at home, I regretted the expensive purchase, I vowed to return one of the sweaters."
This sentence suggests that after returning home, the speaker regretted their decision to buy both sweaters due to the expense. As a result, they made a vow or promise to return one of the sweaters.
Yes, both sentences are grammatically correct. However, there is a small error in the first sentence. It should be: "Even though I couldn't decide which of the two sweaters to buy, the saleswoman convinced me to take both."
To check for correctness, you can consider the following aspects:
1. Subject-Verb Agreement: Make sure the verb agrees with the subject in terms of number. In both sentences, the subject and verb are in agreement. For example, "I couldn't decide" and "the saleswoman convinced me."
2. Tense: Ensure that the tenses used in the sentences are consistent and appropriate. Both sentences use past tense verbs correctly. For instance, "I couldn't decide" and "I regretted the expensive purchase."
3. Punctuation: Check if the sentences have proper punctuation, including commas, periods, and quotation marks. Both sentences have correct punctuation.
To summarize, both sentences are grammatically correct with minor modifications.
