Question

Write one sentence that correctly combines the two sample sentences. Consider using more-specific words in your revision.

Answer 1

The warmhearted clown at the party was caring, but his performance was not very humorous.

The first sentence uses a compound sentence. In order to combine the sentences, a comma and a conjunction is necessary. In this case, the kindness of the clown is in contrast to his humorous nature. The words warmhearted and caring show that the clown was very nice. The detail about his performance not being humorous covers the fact that the speaker does not think that the clown was funny.

I did not think that the nice clown at the party was funny.

The second sentence is a simple version that combines all of the ideas without revising for any more-specific words.

Answer 2

 The clown at the party was pleasant, but I did not think he was particularly entertaining.
