Question

form a compound sentence.
the statue of liberty __________________________ in new york harbor.
was constructed in paris, france, but now stands
was a gift from france, and it stands
stands proudly, a symbol of freedom,

Explanation:

To form a compound sentence, we need a clause that connects logically with the given part. The first option "was constructed in Paris, France, but now stands" provides a contrast (construction in France vs. standing in NY Harbor) and completes the sentence meaningfully. The second option's "it stands" would be redundant with the end "in New York Harbor". The third option is a phrase, not a clause to form a compound sentence.

Answer:

was constructed in Paris, France, but now stands
