Answer 2

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

Yes, the sentence "Secondly, regular use of social media can result in low self-esteem, comparison anxiety, and feelings of not being good enough" is a compound sentence. A compound sentence is a sentence that consists of two or more independent clauses (complete thoughts) joined together by coordinating conjunctions, such as "and," "but," or "or." In this case, the independent clause "regular use of social media can result in low self-esteem, comparison anxiety, and feelings of not being good enough" is connected to the introductory word "Secondly" using a comma. Therefore, it forms a compound sentence.
