Question

Consider the following compound​ sentence: Lilies are popular at​ Easter, but they cannot compete with roses on​ Valentine's Day. A compound sentence

a.has one dependent clause and one independent clause.
b.can be split into two complete sentences.
c.has two verbs and no subjects.
d.has two subjects but only one verb

Answer 1

A, it has one dependent and independent clause.

"Lilies are popular at easter" can be a sentence on its own, so its independent.

"but they cannot compete with roses on valentine's day" still has a subject and verb, but cannot be a sentence on its own so it is dependent.
