The Correct answer is C. None of the other answers that are up there make sense.
Answer:
D. The boy worked hard on his story, for he wanted to win the contest.
Explanation:
A compound sentence is any sentence composed of two independent clauses, separated by a comma and a conjunction (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so) or a semicolon. The two independent clauses in answer D are "The boy worked hard on his story" (subject being boy, verb being worked), and "he wanted to win the contest" (subject being he, verb being wanted).
Answers A and B are incorrect because they do not contain two independent clauses. C also does not contain two independent clauses, but instead a prepositional phrase, which could be confused with an independent clause. These are not the same however, and the comma separating this phrase and clause is not followed by a conjunction word, therefore it is not a compound sentence.
I hope this helps! Happy learning, friend :)

Answer:
I walked in the backyard turning on the hose to fill up the pool, then I saw it..... My neighbors cat, my arch nemesis. I got the hose ready to spray this feral beast, when my mom yelled, "JACK, get inside the house and put on your swimsuit! Stop terrorizing that poor cat!" I went inside and put on my swimsuit. The rest of my family got in the pool and I came out back to see the cat. But this time I was ready to fight him. I had my water gun ready and I had a pool noodle as a sword. The cat gave me the stink eye and walked back home through a hole in the fence. I yelled, HEY! I didn't even take a hit on you yet and you're already retreating?! My older brother threw a beach ball at me and we started playing volley ball.
Was that short enough and was it funny?
