Question 9 of 17 Read this excerpt from The Great Fire. As the rest of the city went about its business, fireman Dorsey was raci

ng through the streets to the closest signal box, which happened to be at Goll's drugstore. He opened the small door on the box and used his thumb to pull down the lever. Dorsey then headed back to the scene of the fire, not realizing that he'd made a mistake — he had forgotten to pull down the lever four times, a special signal that would have made it a true second alarm. At the Courthouse, Schaffer and Brown would hear Dorsey's alarm, but, assuming it was simply another signal telling them about the original fire, they failed to call out more engines. The fire had now been burning for over an hour, and the wind was increasing in velocity. Which statement best describes the effect of Dorsey pulling the lever only once? A. Schaffer and Brown did not realize there was a second alarm. B. More engines were ordered to go to the scene of the fire. C. The fire started spreading more quickly through the city. D. Schaffer and Brown were sent a special signal.

Armadillos live for an average of 16 years in the wild.
kherson [118]

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."
