Question

Combine the following sentences using appropriate conjunctions to have just one complex sentence. a) Citizens believe that they have the right. c) They can be whatever they desire. b) They can do whatever they desire. d) This right exists as long as they do not hurt others.

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

Since the instructions do not ask us to use any specific conjunctions, let's just use the most obvious ones. For instance, we can use "or", or "both... and" to join the second and the third sentences. We can also make them shorter by avoiding repetition. To join the fourth sentence to the rest, we can use "but" or "although", since it is offering an explanation that contradicts/imposes a condition over what was said earlier. Thus:

- Citizens believe that they have the right to be or do whatever they desire, but this right exists as long as they do not hurt others.

- Citizens believe that they have the right to both be and do whatever they desire, although this right exists as long as they do not hurt others.
