Question 53

Read the following sentences and choose the one belonging to the domain of compound sentences.

A compound sentence joins two or more independent clauses (each of which can stand alone as a sentence). These clauses are joined by coordinating conjunctions, semicolons, and adverbs, such as no, but, however, whereas, etc.

Christ was hated by his persecutors; nonetheless, he loved them is a compound sentence because first it has a coordinating conjunction- nonetheless and second, because each of the two clauses (Christ was hated by his persecutors, he loved them) is an independent clause that can be used as a sentence of their own.

All other sentences have clauses that cannot be used as sentences on their own, and therefore, they are not compound sentences.
