About compound sentences:

• There are three types of sentences -simple, compound and complex.
• Compound sentences are those which have atleast two independent clauses in their sentence.
• Independent clause means a group of words that have a complete meaning and can stand on its own.
• There are three sentences given which has to be combined to form a compound sentence.
• The first two sentences are contradicting statements. So they can be written as 'he is poor, yet honest'. This is an independent clause.
• The last sentence is a result of the first two sentences. Hence it can be combined to form: He is respected because he is poor, yet honest.
• Thus there are two independent clauses: 1) He is respected 2) because he is poor, yet honest.
