Compound Sentence
The modern bicycle has a long and varied history.
It began its development with the velocipedes or bone-shakers of the nineteenth century, so it has a 200-year pedigree.
The next changes came about with the introduction of high-wheeled bicycles in the late Victorian period.
These were commonly known as penny-farthings because like the coins one wheel was far larger than the other.
Yet even then riding was still unaffordable for the great majority of people, and it would take many years before bikes became cheap enough for all.
Although bikes have not changed design for many years now, today’s versions are without doubt faster, lighter and more reliable than those of the past.
Indeed, it is obvious to all that cycling is presently going through a golden age.
The conjunction of new materials and advanced manufacturing methods should bring about additional technological advances; furthermore, as the price of bikes goes down, the chance to own and enjoy a ‘conveyance’ will be available to more people than ever before.

Yet even then riding was still unaffordable for the great majority of people, and it would take many years before bikes became cheap enough for all.
Explanation:
Compound sentences are sentences that consist of two or more independent clauses connected by a comma and conjunction or by a semicolon. There are only seven coordinating conjunctions: for, and, nor, but, or, yet, and so.
An independent clause is a clause that can stand alone as a sentence. Every sentence must contain a subject and predicate and express a complete thought. Unlike independent clauses, dependent (subordinate) clauses don't fulfill these criteria, which is why they can't stand alone as sentences.
This means that you need to choose sentences that consist of more than one independent clause and no subordinate clauses. These sentences are:

3.) What does Lyddie
become very interested in
at the end of the
chapter?
Answer:
Lyddie became very interested at the story of "Oliver Twist" by Charles Dickens that Betsy read to her.
Explanation:
Katherine Paterson's "Lyddie" revolves around the story of a young girl named Lyddie Worthen who had to endure a lot of hardships to stay alive and save her family and their farm. Set in the mid 19th century, the novel follows Lyddie as she grew from a small scared girl to becoming an independent girl capable of making her own decisions.
Chapter 10 opens with Lyddie's first day in the factory, working herself out. She had not expected it to be that tiring and she at times, found it suffocating. Her feet were swollen and she would rather want to be in a quiet room, eating her meals away from the clutter and noise of the 30 other females working in the factory.
After a hard day, she came to her room where she saw Betsy reading her novel, which was Charles Dickens' "Oliver Twist". When Betsy began to read to her, she (Lyddie) began to think of Oliver Twist as her brother Charlie. This awoke her, giving her a hunger to know more about the story. She felt a familiarity in the story to that of her brother and wondered how the story ends. That was why she was very interested in the story at the end of the chapter.
