Awriter combined the sentences below into a single sentence. analyze the combination sentence, and evaluate whether the writer met the stated goal. writing goal: these two simple sentences are to be combined to form a compound sentence. the family’s pet dog smelled smoke in the house. the dog woke the family by barking. the result is this: the family’s pet dog smelled smoke in the house, and he woke the family by barking. this result is incorrect because it is not joined correctly correct but not a compound sentence correct and meets the stated goal

incorrect because it is not joined correctly

Explanation:

A simple sentence is one that has only one clause in its composition. A compound sentence is a sentence where two independent simple sentences have been joined by a coordinating conjunction to form a single sentence. Accordingly, we can see that the writer formed an incorrectly composed sentence, since the writer joined the two simple sentences with the conjunction "and" which is not the appropriate conjunction, and the writer should have used the pronoun "it" instead of "he" to refer to the dog.

The correct sentence would be: "The family's pet dog smelled smoke in the house, so it woke the family by barking."
