Answer 2

Answer:

The sentence above is a compound sentence.

Explanation:

A compound sentence joins two or more independent clauses with a coordinator such as and, for, or, but, or a semicolon.  An independent clause is a sentence that can stand alone as a sentence as it represents a complete thought. In the case of the sentence above, the independent clauses that make up the compound sentence have been brought together by the coordinator "or".
