Answer 1

Max maintained that the database needed restructuring, and Laura agreed.

Answer 2

C.

Step-by-step 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.
