Explanation:

Question 6

A compound sentence has two independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction. Option a has a dependent clause ("Since I was late") and an independent clause, so it's complex. Option b has two independent clauses ("I cleaned my room" and "I took out the trash") joined by "and" (a coordinating conjunction), so it's compound. Option c has a dependent clause ("because my mom told me to") and an independent clause, so it's complex. Option d is a simple sentence with one independent clause.

Coordinating conjunctions are "FANBOYS": For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So. "Since" and "Because" are subordinating conjunctions, "If" is a subordinating conjunction. So the coordinating conjunctions are Nor, But, Yet, And, Or, So, For.

Answer:

b. I cleaned my room, and I took out the trash.
