Answer: A) While on tour, the band members learned to live with discomfort and long nights.

Explanation: a verb is a word that expresses an action performed by a subject. A compound verb is one formed by multiple words, it can be a verb followed by a preposition (believe in, learn to), a verb with an auxiliary (had seen, was playing), or a single-word compound verb (double-click, water-proof). From the given options, the one that contains a compound verb, is the corresponding to option A, with the verb "learned to" (a verb followed by a preposition).

After touring, the band members relaxed and enjoyed some homecooked meals. Relaxed and enjoyed is a compound verb because it contains more than one verb.
