B. Mike ran after the bus.
C. Tina arrived at work earlier than usual.

Respuesta :

Answer : D. Sally lives with her parents, although she could afford her own apartment. 

From the choices above, it can be deduced that the statement in letter D is the only sentence that contains two ideas being joined by a connecting word. The two ideas in the sentence in letter D are "Sally lives with her parents" and "She could afford her own apartment". These two ideas are connected by a conjunction "although" creating a compound sentence for that matter.

Sally lives with her parents, although she could afford her own apartment. -contains two ideas joined by a connecting word (although).
