Answer 1

The first is correct.

But the second is wrong. New Delhi/Calcutta are nouns used as objects of a preposition.

Technically, this sentence does not have a compound verb. Check these sites about compound verbs.

Answer 2

i checked the sites but my second choose is c . but is there no ans. to this question what im i suppose to write.

Answer 3

Perhaps it's d.

Answer 4

There is no compound verb in the second sentence. No choice you make will be correct!

You could rewrite the sentence:
<i>She >u>toured</u> India and <u>visited</u> the cities of New Delhi and Calcutta.</i>

Answer 5

The compound verb is "toured" and "visited."

(My html coding was messed up!)

Now I know that rewriting the sentence is not usually an option in an objective exercise or test, but you could point this out to your teacher and let him/her know that you understand the mistake in that sentence!
