Answer 1

The correct answer that combines the two sentences into one with a compound verb is:

B. My friend Cheri won a medal and earned the title “Athlete of the Games”.

This option effectively uses a compound verb structure by connecting two actions performed by Cheri (won a medal and earned a title) with "and."
