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 sentences.
• Independent clause means a group of words that have a complete meaning and can stand on its own.
• Compound sentences are joined using conjunctions like: and, or, but, yet, so that etc.
• Here we have two separate sentences and they should be converted into a compound sentence.
• We see that there are two events which has happened one after the other: 'enemy approaching' and 'news alarming'.
• So the above two can be joined using 'and'.
• Therefore the answer is: The enemy was approaching and the news alarmed us.
