A compound sentence is a combination of two independent clauses that is being connected by a conjunction. A compound sentence is formed "by joining two simple sentences with a comma and a coordinate conjunction". Some of the coordinate conjunctions that are used to connect these two simple sentences are and, but, so, or, for, nor, yet and many more. Below are some examples of compound sentences.

This question is missing the excerpt. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
Read the excerpt from chapter 7 of Night.
Meir Katz remained on the train. The last day had been the most lethal. We had been a hundred or so in this wagon. Twelve of us left it. Among them, my father and myself.
The author’s main purpose in this excerpt is to show that ______
A) few survived the horrific train ride.
B) the author and his father were safe.
C) Meir Katz was not as strong as he seemed.
D) Meir Katz was left behind to remove the dead.
Answer:
The author’s main purpose in this excerpt is to show that A) few survived the horrific train ride.
Explanation:
This excerpt makes one clear point. It's main purpose is to show how horrific the train ride was, especially its last night. Out of a hundred people who had been in the wagon, only 12 left. The author does mention that him and his father were safe. Yet, the most important piece of information - and the most shocking one - is how many people died. Therefore, letter A is the best option.
If we were to plug in the first option into the paragraph, it would sound like this...
The Huntington Library, located in San Marino, California, contains a significant collection of rare books and manuscripts. A visitor of the library will, however, find one of the original copies of the Gutenberg Bible, as well as first-edition copies of books by William Blake.
This cannot be the correct answer because the word however is used to contradict something that has been said previously. This sentence has no reason to be contradicted.
If we were to plug in the second option into the paragraph, it would sound something like this...
The Huntington Library, located in San Marino, California, contains a significant collection of rare books and manuscripts. A visitor of the library will, similarly, find one of the original copies of the Gutenberg Bible, as well as first-edition copies of books by William Blake.
This option is also incorrect because the word 'similarly' is used to indicate a similarity between two facts or events. But the two sentences are talking about he same thing so there is nothing to indicate similarity.
If we plug in the third option into the paragraph, it would sound something like this...
The Huntington Library, located in San Marino, California, contains a significant collection of rare books and manuscripts. A visitor of the library will, additionally, find one of the original copies of the Gutenberg Bible, as well as first-edition copies of books by William Blake.
This option can also not be the correct answer because no new factor is being introduced into the sentences.
If we plug in the first option into the paragraph, it will sound something like this...
<span>The Huntington Library, located in San Marino, California, contains a significant collection of rare books and manuscripts. A visitor of the library will, in fact, find one of the original copies of the Gutenberg Bible, as well as first-edition copies of books by William Blake.
This is the correct answer because the sentence is using this word </span><span>to emphasize the statement they are trying to make.
This means the correct answer is d ) in fact.
