Answer 1

Answer: My friend Cheri won a medal and earned the title “Athlete of the Games”.

Step-by-step explanation:

Although I am no expert, my gut is going with this sentence because it has the cause and effect correct. It wasn't until Cheri won the medal only to be named "Athlete of the Games".

I hoped this helped let me know if I was wrong.

Answer 2

The sentence that correctly combines the two sentences into a sentence with a compound verb is the following one: My friend Cheri won a medal and earned the title "Athlete of the Games".

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentence above contains a compound predicate. A compound predicate is two or more verb or verb phrases that share the same subject and are joined by a conjunction. In the sentence above, the compound predicate is made up by the verbs "won" and "earned", verbs in the past simple tense, which have been joined by the conjunction "and".
