Answer:
A) Our staid coach surprised us with a joke that was totally out of character
Explanation:
Although staid's denotative meaning is "sedate, respectable, and unadventurous," the word is often used to describe people who are stodgy or dull. If one was surprised by someone telling a joke, and calls that "out of character", then we can infer that that person was usually rather boring. Therefore, using context clues, we can infer that this is the correct use of staid.

Explanation:

(B)
What I said about A is the same for B
(C)
Ah! good old C. C has two independent clauses and has the conjunction and after mall and before John. This is very important because this is where one independent clause stops and another independent clause starts. C has everything that makes up a compound sentence so the answer is C.
(D)
If we look at D, we can see D is just a single independent clause, which is asking a question.
