Which sentence below is a compound sentence?

A compound sentence has two independent clauses—each can stand alone as a sentence—joined by a coordinating conjunction. In “Marco was playing his guitar, so Gina went shopping,” both “Marco was playing his guitar” and “Gina went shopping” are complete thoughts, joined by “so.” Choice A has one subject with two actions, so it is not compound.
