Answer 1

Answer:

The best way to revise the sentences to make one simple sentence:

According to legend, the founding of Rome began with twin brothers; they were named Romulus and Remus.

Explanation:

There is a good reason why this is the best option. First o all, we need to include a comma to indicate the introduction and fundamentalism of the sentence. Then, we describe the main event "the foundation of Rome". After that, we add a semicolon to keep the main idea alive even though we add different information. So, we provide additional information to explain the name of the twins. Then we end it with a dot.

Answer 2

The best way to revise the given sentence into a simple sentence is, 'According to legend, the founding of Rome began with twin brothers they were named Romulus and Remus.'

Answer: Option C

The best way to rewrite the given sentence into a simple sentence would be, ‘According to legend, the founding of Rome began with twin brothers they were named Romulus and Remus.

In this sentence we can see there no dependent clause, it has only one independent clause thus making it a simple sentence.

If we have a look at other sentences, then all those sentences consists of one independent as well as one dependent clause. This is because those sentences includes comma giving rise to a new clause.
