• A. He teaches Mathematics and English also.
• B. He teaches Mathematics as well as English.
• C. He teaches Mathematics .
• D. None of these.

Answer 1

Answer:

A. He teaches Mathematics and English also.

• Compound sentence contains two or main clauses.
• In order to make it compound we use co-ordinating conjunctions such as and, but, yet, so, still, nevertheless, whereas ,while, or, otherwise, else, or else , nor , as well as .
• However, based on the options provided, none of them correctly represents a compound sentence because a compound sentence requires two independent clauses joined by a conjunction like "and," "but," "or," etc.
• "He teaches Mathematics and English also." – This is the closest, but it still reads as a simple sentence, not a true compound sentence.
• "He teaches Mathematics as well as English." – This is also a simple sentence, structured with "as well as."
• "He teaches Mathematics." – This is just a simple sentence with no mention of English.
