B)
He saved the life of a girl and he was given a medal.
Explanation
A COMPOUND SENTENCE is a sentence that is made
up of two or more independent clauses. There are no dependent clauses in it.
The independent clauses in a compound sentence are joined by coordinating
conjunctions such as ‘or’, ‘and’ or ‘but’. For example, I really wanted to play
the match, but I was too sick to stand even.
The complex sentence refers to the sentence which contains at least one dependent clause and an independent clause. A dependent clause is the clause which cannot stand alone in its meaning on the other hand independent clause refers to the phrase which can stand alone, though both have a subject and a verb.
Therefore when the above sentence written in complex sentence it would be:
He saved the life of a girl, he was given a medal.
A sentence which contains two independent clauses with related ideas is referred to as a compound sentence.
One way to punctuate a compound sentence correctly is to join the two independent clauses with a semicolon and a coordinating conjunction.
Therefore, the above sentence when changed into compound sentence would be written as:
He was given a medal because he saved the life of a girl.
