B The dog ran away and then came back.

D The lady lost her purse, but later found it.

Answer 1

D The lady lost her purse, but later found it.

Step-by-step explanation:

In option D, "The lady lost her purse, but later found it," we have two independent clauses: "The lady lost her purse" and "later found it." These two clauses are joined by the coordinating conjunction "but," which makes it a compound sentence.
