Explanation:

Define compound sentence structure

A compound sentence contains at least two independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction (FANBOYS: for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so) or a semicolon.

Analyze each sentence in the extract

1. "The thing I like least about the weekend is Sunday evening."

• One independent clause. (Complex/Simple depending on relative clause analysis, not compound).

1. "It's the furthest point away from Friday, but it's also the closest point to yet another Monday morning."

• Two independent clauses: "It's the furthest point away from Friday" and "it's also the closest point to yet another Monday morning" joined by the coordinating conjunction "but". This is a compound sentence.

1. "I'd give anything to win the lottery."

• One independent clause. Simple sentence.

1. "It'd save me from yet another commute to work, battling through the honking traffic and stinking fumes."

• One independent clause with modifying participial phrases. Simple sentence.

1. "According to the Medical Gazette, fighting through the rush hour causes excess stress hormones to build up in your blood stream."

• One independent clause with introductory prepositional phrase and gerund subject. Simple sentence.

1. "Over time, all that damage takes years off your life."

• One independent clause. Simple sentence.

1. "For me, that's yet another good reason to hit the snooze button and slide back under the duvet."

• One independent clause with compound predicate ("to hit... and slide..."). Simple sentence.

1. "It's only Sunday morning after all!"

• One independent clause. Simple sentence.
