Question

Which one of the following sentences contains two ideas joined by a connecting word?

A. Frank went fishing on Saturday he caught many fish.
B. Mike ran after the bus.
C. Tina arrived at work earlier than usual.
D. Sally lives with her parents, although she could afford her own apartment.

Answer 1

Sally lives with her parents, although she could afford her own apartment. -contains two ideas joined by a connecting word (although).

Answer 2

Answer : D. Sally lives with her parents, although she could afford her own apartment.

From the choices above, it can be deduced that the statement in letter D is the only sentence that contains two ideas being joined by a connecting word. The two ideas in the sentence in letter D are "Sally lives with her parents" and "She could afford her own apartment". These two ideas are connected by a conjunction "although" creating a compound sentence for that matter.
