Question

Which of the following sentences is a compound sentence?

• A. She sang beautifully.
• B. I like pizza.
• C. He went to the store, and he bought some groceries.
• D. The cat meowed loudly.

Answer 1

Answer:

C. He went to the store, and he bought some groceries.

• A compound sentence is a sentence that consists of two or more independent clauses (complete sentences) joined together by coordinating conjunctions (such as "and," "but," "or," "for," "nor," "so," or "yet") or semicolons ( ; ). 

• This sentence has two independent clauses ("He went to the store" and "he bought some groceries") joined by the coordinating conjunction "and."

•  The other options (A, B, and D) are examples of simple sentences.
