Verified Answer :

No, this sentence is not a compound sentence. As you may think "and" will automatically elad to being a compound sentence, the definition of compound sentence has more than one independent clause while a simple sentence has only one independent clause. There is only one independent clause in this sentence; true in this sentence is that it is a compound subject because there are 2 subjects. However, it is not a compound sentence. Therefore, it is a simple sentence.
