Which of the following is a compound sentence? A litter of otters and their mother splashed in the stream. Coyotes howled even though it was still light out. The barn owl turned his head backwards, and blinked his eyes at the rising moon. His big paws twitching, the grizzly yawned but didn’t awaken; it would be weeks before the weather warmed enough to lure him from his cozy den.
