Answer: Dr. Naismith would have been surprised, if he had known how popular basketball would become.

Explanation:

The best way to combine these two sentences is to put a comma between them.

When joined together, these two sentences form a third conditional sentence.

In a third conditional sentence, one part of the sentence contains 'would have' + past participle <em>(would have been surprised)</em>, while the other part of the sentence contains 'if' and past perfect form of the verb (<em>if he had known</em>). Third conditional sentences are used to talk about impossible outcomes. Dr. Naismith was a physical educator who died in 1939. Therefore, the scenario of him witnessing the popularity of basketball is not possible.

Since it it a parody I will write you something that the most people understand.

Study: 90 percent of people are not actually allowed to have their own opinion

Those are the breaking news. Nowadays people are not having permission to have their own opinion on something since everyone are knowing better than them what is going on in their lives. Now the law had confirm it, people can do their gossip without feeling guilty. Today at school, Anne had asked her friend ''What is your opinion on my new dress?'' and her friend replied ''I don't like it. The dress has the colors that I don't like, yellow and purple.''

Anne said ''I guess that you are right. Those were my two favorite colors but since I could not have my own opinion I will take yours''

The next day, Anne came in school dressed in all black. Her friend told her ''You look better now'' but everyone was thinking that someone had died in her family so they were acting sad around her.

What type of punctuation signals the reader that words from the direct quote have been changed but the writer ?
adell [148]

That would have to be an ellipsis. When you say something like, "There was only one catch, and that was Catch-22, which specified that a concern for one's own safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind. Orr was crazy and could be grounded (blah blah)"(Joseph Heller 46).

OR

,"There was only one catch, and that was Catch-22,...Orr was crazy and could be grounded (blah blah)"(Joseph Heller 46).
