Answer 1

The option that always requires a comma before the conjunction is compound sentence. In a compound sentence, when you join two independent clauses with a conjunction (such as "and," "but," or "or"), a comma is placed before the conjunction.

For example:

• I wanted to go for a walk, but it started to rain.

The other options do not consistently require a comma before the conjunction.
