Question

Which sentence is compound? A. Bear cubs generally play, sleep, and eat near their mother. B. Mark saw a kangaroo, but he didn't take a picture. C. I saw goats, sheep, and pigs at the farm in West Virginia. D. Bears and bison live in the mountains of Wyoming.

Answer 1

The sentence that is a compound sentence would be B. Since it provides 2 mail points or actions combined within a single sentence, there are 2 main events occurring within the sentence whereas the other options only describe one.

Mark saw the kangaroo, but he didn't take a picture.

Both Mark seeing the kangaroo and not taking the picture are these events combined within this sentence.
