Solution
Verified by Toppr

Answer: The magician took pity on the mouse and turned it into a cat.

Explanation: A simple sentence is one that has only one independent clause and one main verb. A sentence with more than one main/independent clause is called a compound sentence. A simple sentence can be converted to a compound sentence by introducing co-ordinating conjunctions like "and", "but", "yet", and so on.
Here, the two independent clauses are joined using "and", a coordinating conjunction.
