Sorry it’s the second one

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is option 2) Thomas Paine’s Common Sense was published in 1776, and the Revolutionary War began that same year.

Explanation:

In order to combine both sentences first we need to figure out if the sentence adds information (option 2), contrasts information (option 1) or if the focus is on time (option 3 and 4).

In this case, we are adding information so the correct grammar structure should be a compound sentence connected by a linking word that add information as in option two. The connector used is "and".
