Definition

Compound sentences are sentences that cointain two ideas (clauses = subject + verb) joined by a coordinating cojunction (these can be "and, but, for, so, or, yet) and they can also be linked by punctuation marks and the use of words like: "however, moreover, besides, as a result, for example,therefore" and several more.

Answer

Sending quick, irrational replies to upsetting e-mails can be emotionally gratifying; however, it is not wise.

"Sending quick, irrational replies to upsetting e-mails" = SUBEJCT

"can be emotionally gratifying" = VERB

This is the first clause that is linked to the following by the use of the ";" and the word "however".

";however, it = SUBJECT

is not wise.= IS

This is the second clause of this sentence.

We claim that this is a compound sentences because each clause, each idea can be understood independently and they are joined by the use of a conjuction.

Good writers use parallel estructure in lists to display strong logic(1st clause); bad writers create unparallel lists that lack logic(2nd clause).

"Good writers" = SUBJECT

"use" = VERB

These are the subject and the verb of the first clause.

";" links the two cluses.

"Bad writers" = SUBJECT

"create" = Verb

These belong to the second clause.

Pie charts should be used to show relationships between parts of a whole, but bar graphs should be used to illustrate differences between variables.

"Pie charts" = SUBJECT

"be used" = Verb

These elements belong to the first independent clause.

",but" = this conjunction joins the two clauses

"Bar graphs"= SUBJECT

"be used" = Verb

These two elements form the second independent idea of this sentence.

INCORRECT SENTENCES

Informational messages are usually organized in a direct manner but sensitive messages are often indirect to avoid offending the recipient.

In this sentence the conjuction "but" should be preceded by a comma, otherwise it is incorrectly punctuated and it is not a compound sentence. Compound sentences can have the following structure:

1st clause + Comma + Conjuction + 2nd clause =

I am really tired of studying, but I have to graduate some day.

1st clause + Semi colon + Conjunction + 2nd clause =

It was a difficult test; however, I passed it!

1st clause + comma + 2nd clause =

I'm studying right now, I can't go to the movies.

Read this passage: many manufacturers prefer plastic as a material for containers because it can be molded into many shapes. but plastic is not very strong. it must be fused with glass or steel for strength. it is also not very durable. even the strongest plastic can break under enough pressure. the biggest disadvantage to using plastic is that it does not decompose. while plastic can be recycled, doing so is tedious and difficult. while it may be more expensive and difficult to work with, aluminum is a much stronger building material with far greater tensile strength. it conducts electricity because it is metal. best of all, aluminum is very easy to recycle. even if it is thrown away, it decomposes much more quickly than most manufacturing materials. how does the compare-and-contrast organizational pattern of the passage support the author's purpose? a. the passage gradually leads up to the point about decomposition to inform the reader about the importance of recycling plastics. b. the passage lists the advantages and disadvantages of each material to make a case for the use of plastic and not aluminum in containers. c. the passage begins with a description of plastic's problems in order to call attention to the good qualities of aluminum. d. the passage shows the superiority of aluminum in order to make a case for the production of stronger plastics.
