Which sentence below is a compound sentence? a. john and mary turned in their homework. c. max maintained that the database needed restructuring, and laura agreed. b. when i saw what you had done, i was sad. d. all of the above

C.

Explanation:

A compound sentence is a sentence that have at-least two independent clauses in it, meaning that these two clauses can be understood without the other clause also. These two independent clauses are joined either by conjunction with a comma or semi-colon, semi-colon, colon, dash, or by coordinating conjunction.

In the given examples, Option C is correct.

"Max maintained that the database needed restructuring,..." and "and Laura agreed." Both are independent clauses that can be understood without the other clause.

each year on this day, i make it a point to listen to dr. martin luther king jr.’s great “i have a dream” speech. it’s electrifying every single time.

the content of dr. king’s speech, his inspiring presence, and the moment in history all came together to make the iconic “i have a dream” speech the defining moment of the american civil rights movement. but there are several other reasons why this speech, delivered over 50 years ago, remains an example of one of the best speeches in american history.

in most cases, you can’t handpick the spot to give a presentation, as mlk did for supreme symbolic effect when he stood on the steps of the lincoln memorial and echoed the opening words of the gettysburg address (“five score years ago . . ). but you absolutely can amplify your message by adapting it to your setting and location.
