Explanation:

A simple sentence is a sentence that has the most basic elements every sentence needs: a subject, a verb, and a completed thought. For example, the subject in the first example is <em>ketchup</em>, and the predicate is <em>makes</em>. A completed thought is present, so we can say that that is a complete simple sentence.

A compound sentence is a sentence that consists of at least two independent clauses connected by a comma, semicolon, or conjunction. The third example consists of two independent clauses:

  • <em>Hydrogen has weight.</em>
  • <em>You can't weigh it on an ordinary scale.</em>

These two clauses are connected by the conjunction <em>but</em>. That's why they make up a compound sentence.

Every other example can be analyzed the same way.
