We can combine the sentences as "Armadillos, a type of hard-shelled mammal native to Latin America, live for an average of 16 years in the wild."
<h3>How can we combine the sentences?</h3>
According to the instructions, we must combine the sentences without adding any new words. That means we should not use relative pronouns such as "which", or conjunctions such as "and".
However, we can remove any unnecessary words. Thus, we can combine the sentences by following the steps below:
- First, we can identify "armadillos" as the subject or topic of all three sentences. That means we can remove it, using it only once.
- Second, we transform two of the sentences into appositive phrases. We can remove their subjects and verbs and use them to explain what armadillos are. Let's do it to sentences 2 and 3.
- Finally, we place the appositive phrase after "armadillos" and a comma, add another comma after it, and finish the sentence with the rest of sentence 1.
Following the steps above, we have: "Armadillos, a type of hard-shelled mammal native to Latin America, live for an average of 16 years in the wild."
