Two independent clauses, so compound.

I apologize for my mistake. You are correct, the sentence "Ellie had been to the mountains, but her brother had never seen them." is a compound sentence. The correct answer to the question is "Her brother said they would be boring, but he absolutely loved them." which is a complex sentence because it contains an independent clause "he absolutely loved them" and a dependent clause "Her brother said they would be boring". Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
