A compound sentence is a sentence that contains two or more independent clauses that are connected by a conjunction (e.g. "and", "but", "or"). In each of the examples provided, the two simple sentences were joined together with a conjunction to form a compound sentence. The conjunction used in each sentence was chosen based on the relationship between the ideas expressed in the two simple sentences.

"I do not like oranges" and "I do not like peaches" are both independent clauses that express a similar idea, so they were joined with "and" to form a compound sentence.

"A boat was brought" and "The goods were loaded" are both independent clauses that express two actions that occurred at the same time, so they were joined with "and" to form a compound sentence.

"The boy is not lazy" and "The boy is not insincere" are both independent clauses that express a similar idea, so they were joined with "nor" to form a compound sentence.

"The passengers were delayed" and "They were not unhappy" are both independent clauses that express two different ideas, so they were joined with "but" to form a compound sentence.

"I will work hard in school" and "I will not give up swimming" are both independent clauses that express a similar idea, so they were joined with "and" to form a compound sentence.

"He did not perform well" and "He was dropped from the squad" are both independent clauses that express a cause and effect relationship, so they were joined with "so" to form a compound sentence.

"The doctor returned from England" and "He set up a nursing home" are both independent clauses that express two actions that occurred at the same time, so they were joined with "and" to form a compound sentence.
