The correct answer is "The new electric pencil sharpener does not sharpen well; I prefer the old manual one."

Explanation:

In grammar, to combine to sentence often implies to use a punctuation mark or transition to create a longer and more complex sentence, which varies depending on the type of sentences and the relation between both.

In the case presented, the two sentences "The new electric pencil sharpener does not work properly" and "I prefer the old manual one" are independent clauses, this means they can stand by themselves and express complete ideas. Due to these, according to grammar these sentences can only be linked using a semicolon (;) or a comma (,) and a conjunction, this means, from the options presented the only one that shows a correct way to combine these sentences si "The new electric pencil sharpener does not sharpen well; I prefer the old manual one".

Which sentence uses the verb harrow correctly as defined in the dictionary entry?
Sphinxa [80]

Hello. You did not provide answer options. This prevents your question from being answered 100% satisfactorily. However I can help by showing the meaning of the verb "to harrow" and showing examples of phrases that were spelled correctly.

The verb "to harrow" can have two meanings, the first refers to the act of preparing the soil for the cultivation of plants through equipment called harrow, which leaves the soil smooth and free of clods. In this case, an example of a phrase that would use this verb correctly would be: We cannot plant corn without harrowing the land first.

The verb "to harrow" can also be used in the sense of causing torment to something or someone. In this case, an example of a phrase once this verb is used correctly is: "has not set out to appall the reader with horrors nor to harrow him with miseries."
