Answer 2

Answer:    

The sentence in its compound form will be:

He was ill, so he could not attend the class.

Explanation:

• A simple sentence has just one finite verb.
• A compound sentence is a sentence that combines two independent sentences with a coordinating conjunction like, so, and or but.

Q) Owing to his illness he could not attend the class​.

   Here the two clauses of the sentence are:

1. Owing to his illness
2. He could not attend the class

The sentence can be changed by adding a comma and a connector so between the two clauses.

Therefore, the compound sentence formed will be :

He was ill, so he could not attend the class.
