Maggie presented the budget at the annual stockholder's meeting, but Zach discussed the overall financial health of the company. What kind of sentence is this? complex compound simple...

Question

lgbasallote · Answer

look at the sentence; it contains the coordinating conjunction "but", and if there is a coordinating conjunction present, then the sentence is automatically a compound sentence.

Since you don't have any dependent clause present, it's just plain compound sentence

does that help?
