Example: Frank wanted to spend the holidays in Jamaica, however, Juanita preferred the mountains.
Answer: Compound
(This is a compound sentence because it has two independent clauses, but no subordi- nate clauses. Both “Frank wanted to spend the holidays in Jamaica” and “Juanita pre- ferred the mountains” are independent clauses because each is a complete sentence with a subject, a verb, and an object.) You don’t need to explain as we did in the example. Just note which of the six options identifies the sentence.
