To determine which of the following is a compound sentence, we need to understand what a compound sentence is. A compound sentence is a sentence that consists of two or more independent clauses joined together by a conjunction (such as "and," "but," "or," etc.).
Let's break down the options:
1. "It was a beautiful day, so we decided to go to the zoo."
This sentence contains two independent clauses: "It was a beautiful day" and "we decided to go to the zoo." The clauses are joined by the conjunction "so." Therefore, this is a compound sentence.
2. "We saw pandas during our visit to the zoo."
This sentence is a simple sentence. It contains only one independent clause. Therefore, this is not a compound sentence.
3. "Before we left, I bought a hat at the gift shop."
Similar to the previous sentence, this is also a simple sentence with only one independent clause. It is not a compound sentence.
4. "To get to the zoo, we took the train and a cab."
This sentence contains two clauses: "To get to the zoo" and "we took the train and a cab." However, the first clause is a dependent clause and does not function as an independent clause. Therefore, this is not a compound sentence.
Therefore, the only sentence that is a compound sentence is option 1: "It was a beautiful day, so we decided to go to the zoo."
