"but" is a co-ordinating conjunction. That means that it joins two EQUAL terms. ( what is in front of it is also in back) Several people listened is a complete sentence; therefore nobody volunteered as the be a complete sentence also.
You need to look at your answers for #'s 1 & 2 again.
CLUE...... Compound sentences are connected by either co-ordinate conjuntions, or by semicolons.
