Answer: The sentence 'There is some dissension about whether we need to learn a 2nd language, or we don't need to learn a second language' is a compound sentence.

Compound sentences are the ones which contains at least two independent clauses. They make a sentence of their own without any dependent clause.

This sentence consists of two different sentences i.e. ‘There is some dissension about whether we need to learn a 2nd language’ and ‘We don’t need to learn a second language.’ which don’t need any dependent clause.

In lay terms, Dunbar explained that this number depicts the number of people a person can freely join at a table in a bar uninvited. Inclusive in this number are also past colleagues and friends that can be reunited and associated with. There are ongoing debates about the accuracy of this notion.

A. Many times the phrase “Let freedom ring” is used in his speech because it is an exciting conclusion.

B. Many times the phrase “Let freedom ring” is used to lead to an exciting conclusion.

C. “Let freedom ring” is a phrase, and it is used to lead to an exciting conclusion many times.

D. “Let freedom ring” is a phrase that is used many times to lead to an exciting conclusion.

Answer:

The best way to combine sentences 2 and 3 is:

D. “Let freedom ring” is a phrase that is used many times to lead to an exciting conclusion.

Explanation:

Sentences 2 and 3 are quite repetitive since they both have "Let freedom ring" as their subjects. To combine both sentences, we must find a way to avoid repeating the subject while still maintaining the rest of the information provided. For that reason, letter D is the best option. It uses "Let freedom ring" only once. Then, it moves on to offer us all the combined information about it - it is a phrase, it is used many times, and it leads to an exciting conclusion.

D. “Let freedom ring” is a phrase that is used many times to lead to an exciting conclusion.
