d.
a compound sentence is when the sentence can be split up to make two complete sentences.
i.e. Paolo missed his girlfriend. He knew she'd be back.
d. can be split up into two fully functional sentences.
Too busy for her own good, Sarah was negligent about drinking enough water.
The other verb phrases would not fit the context of the sentence.
The question is asking which answer choice DOES NOT make sense about a theme of a story.
You could use choice A, C, and D as definitions for theme. So your answer that does not fit is B.
Answer = B. The theme of a short story is the plot- the actions that lead up to the story's resolution.
Good Luck! :)
