Know the Answer?

Tyrell · Answer 1

The answer would be C

Maximo Coffey · Answer 2

A compound sentence has to have two sentences that can stand on its own, as well as a word such as "or," "but," "and."

So looking at our choices, the answer is C. If you take out the "so," everyone's newspaper delivery was delayed can stand on its own as a sentence.
