Question

Convert the following complex sentence to a compound sentence:
I found the picture that my mother gave me. [Advanced]

• A. I found the picture that was given to me by my mother.
• B. I had lost the picture that my mother gave me but I have found it.
• C. I had lost and found the picture that my mother gave me.
• D. I found the picture that was a gift from my mother.

Answer 1

The correct option is B I had lost the picture that my mother gave me but I have found it.

Compound sentence joins two or more independent clauses with a coordinator such as for, an, or, but or a semi-colon.

The complex sentence can be a noun clause, adjective clause or adverb clause. The given sentence is a complex sentence joined by the word 'that'.

Option B is a compound sentence as 'but' is used.

Thus, option B is the correct sentence.
