Question

Which statement is an example of a compound sentence?A. Paolo missed his girlfriend, but he knew she'd be back soon.B. Cora hoped that she would get the job at Fisher's Crab Shack.C. After Maria finished dinner, she washed the dishes in the sink.D. Dahlia agreed that Corinne was the right person for the job.

Answer 1

First off, a compound sentence is a sentence that contains at least two independent clauses. That tells us C is out almost immediately because it has a dependent clause, "After Maria finished dinner". Next, is B, That's a simple sentence, there's no joining method or comma and it only has one subject and one predicate. D isn't right either, it just about the same as B. Your answer would be A. Paolo missed his girlfriend, but he knew she'd be back soon. This sentence has a joining clause, and two independent subjects.
