Question

which is a compound sentence?

○ my brother, who has always played baseball, earned a sports scholarship to college.
○ while studying for the test, marisa realized she was not prepared.
○ the man who called tonight wants us to hire him to remodel our bathroom.

Explanation:

A compound sentence consists of two independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction (e.g., and, but, or). The first option has two independent clauses ("I managed to complete the task" and "I missed the deadline") joined by "but". The other options contain complex sentences with dependent clauses (relative or adverbial) and one independent clause.

Answer:

A. I managed to complete the task, but I missed the deadline.
