Respuesta :

"Tom went to the grocery store, and Jerry went to the library."

The correct answer is A. Compound sentence.

A compound sentence is one composed by two independent clauses joined by a conjunction.

  • Independent clauses:  It is a sentence that can stand alone (It has no need of complement to have a logical meaning), in the sentence there are two independent clauses:

1. Tom went to the grocery store  --  2. Jerry went to the library.


  • Conjunction: It is a connector, in this case is one of the coordinating conjunctions (For, AND, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So) and it connects the two independent clauses.
