Answer 1

A compound sentence contains at least two independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction (like "and," "but," or "or").

In this case, the correct answer is:

A - The sun was shining, and the birds were singing.

This option has two independent clauses: "The sun was shining" and "the birds were singing," connected by the conjunction "and."
