Question

the movement of the progress bar may be uneven because questions can be worth more or less (including zero) depending on your ans combine the following sentences into a single compound sentence: the last movie ended after my curfew. we went bowling instead the last movie ended after my curfew, which is why we went bowling instead. we went bowling because the last movie ended after my curfew. the last movie ended after my curfew; we went bowling instead. since the last movie ended after my curfew, we went bowling instead.

Explanation:

A compound sentence consists of two independent clauses joined by a semicolon, a comma and a coordinating conjunction, or a conjunctive adverb. Let's analyze each option:

• Option 1: "which is why we went bowling instead" is a dependent clause, so this is a complex sentence, not compound.
• Option 2: "because the last movie ended after my curfew" is a dependent clause, making it a complex sentence.
• Option 3: It has two independent clauses ("The last movie ended after my curfew" and "we went bowling instead") joined by a semicolon, which is a valid way to form a compound sentence.
• Option 4: "Since the last movie ended after my curfew" is a dependent clause, so it's a complex sentence.

Answer:

C. The last movie ended after my curfew; we went bowling instead.
