Which of the following sentences is a compound sentence?

Question

TheEntryPass · Accepted Answer

A Rationale: A compound sentence is a sentence that contains at least two independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction. The sentence "The sky is clear, and the stars are bright" fulfills this requirement, as it combines two complete thoughts: "The sky is clear" and "the stars are bright," connected by the conjunction "and."

The sentence "Although it was late, he stayed up" is a complex sentence, as it includes a dependent clause that cannot stand alone. "She reads books" is a simple sentence with just one independent clause and no conjunction. "While she reads, she listens to music" is also a complex sentence, featuring a dependent clause ("While she reads") and an independent clause, showing the relationship between the two actions but not qualifying as a compound sentence.
