Hello
Please,could you help me with these sentences ?
Thank you in advance.
simple sentence or compound ?
1. Nineteenth-century American scenes and customs were recorded and preserved by the firm of Currier and Ives.
2. Nathaniel Currier was a printer, and James Ives was an executive.
3. The two men produced “prints for the people.
4. Currier favored current events; he produced prints of ships, battles, and news events.
5. Ives had broader interests and generally favored country scenes.
My answers :
1. simple even two subjects
( No dependent clause , No two independent clauses ) two verbs joined by " and"
2. compound ( two independent )
3. simple clear though " for " is used to join two independent clauses ( FANBOYS)
4. also simple although " and" is used, it talks about one idea.
5. This I am suspected with it seems simple to understood, but also possible ( compound),
because perhaps to place ( He) after and ( and he generally favored country scenes ) ?
Omitting the subject ( not necessary to repeat )
What do you say? I wait your answers.

3. The two men produced “prints for the people.
