which sentence is a compound sentence?

a while it was raining, we stayed inside.

b we stayed inside, and we watched a movie.

c staying inside was nice.

d because it was raining, we stayed inside.

Explanation:

Question 1

Conjunctive adverbs connect independent clauses and show relationships. "Because" is a subordinating conjunction, "and" is a coordinating conjunction, "if" is a subordinating conjunction. "However" is a conjunctive adverb.

Semicolons are used between independent clauses, often with conjunctive adverbs. Option a and b use coordinating conjunctions after semicolons (incorrect, as semicolon + conjunction is wrong; use comma + conjunction or semicolon + conjunctive adverb). Option d has a period error. Option c uses semicolon with "however" (conjunctive adverb) between two independent clauses, correct.

A compound sentence has two independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction, semicolon, or conjunctive adverb. Option a: complex (dependent clause + independent). Option b: two independent clauses ("We stayed inside" and "we watched a movie") joined by "and" (coordinating conjunction), compound. Option c: simple. Option d: complex (dependent + independent).

Answer:

b. however
