My choice is #A, but not sure.

Answer 1

#c

The rabbit jumped into the bushes, an the dog followed it.

Answer 2

Remember, to make a compound sentence, there needs to be a real connection (called a conjunction) between the two shorter sentences. Usually that connection is one of these:

, and
, but
, nor
, or
, for
, so
, yet

(You can also use a semicolon (;) in place of the comma and conjunction.)

It's not A. Which of the others fits the description I just gave?

Answer 7

Your choice of option A, "After the rabbit jumped into the bushes, the dog followed it," is the correct answer. This compound sentence combines the two given sentences by using a subordinating conjunction ("after") to show the relationship between the actions of the rabbit and the dog. The first part of the compound sentence, "After the rabbit jumped into the bushes," functions as a subordinate clause, providing additional information about the time or cause of the dog's action. The second part, "the dog followed it," is the main clause, expressing the action of the dog. Thus, option A effectively combines the two sentences into a compound sentence. Well done!
