Answer 1

After comparing the two sentences, we can say that the revised sentence does NOT:

D. Create a compound sentence.

What is a compound sentence?

• A compound sentence is formed when we join two independent clauses by using a coordinating conjunction (for, and, nor, but, yet, so). Example: Jena loves cooking, but she dislikes doing the dishes.

What about the revised sentence?

• The revised sentence does not create a compound sentence. Notice that it does not have any of the coordinating conjunctions mentioned above. It does not have two clauses as well, but one phrase and one clause.

• It does, however, add a participial phrase starter, use the literary present tense, and edit out a linking structure.

• Therefore, we can conclude that letter D is the correct option concerning the revised sentence.
