Apparently you didn't study the websites about compound sentences that Writeacher and I posted for you.
is it D
Yes, D is correct.
The correct answer is C. By joining two independent clauses and one dependent clause.
To form a compound sentence, you need to have two independent clauses that can stand alone as separate sentences. An independent clause contains a subject and a predicate and expresses a complete thought. Additionally, you need a dependent clause, which cannot stand alone as a sentence because it lacks a complete thought.
To create a compound sentence, you can join the two independent clauses and one dependent clause using coordinating conjunctions like "and," "but," "or," "so," "for," or "yet." These coordinating conjunctions help connect related ideas and show the relationship between the different parts of the sentence.
For example, consider the sentence: "I went to the store, and I bought some groceries because I needed to cook dinner." In this sentence, "I went to the store" and "I bought some groceries" are two independent clauses connected with the coordinating conjunction "and." The dependent clause "because I needed to cook dinner" helps explain the reason for the actions in the two independent clauses.
So, remember, to form a compound sentence, you need two independent clauses and one dependent clause connected with coordinating conjunctions.
