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".

Why do you think it takes courage to achieve something? Explain your answer.(please put it in ace format)
Anni [7]
It takes courage to achieve something because you have to start it in the first place.

What if you had to jump off a diving board from a high level to win a bet? Or maybe sing or give a speech in front of a huge crowd if you were afraid of speaking in public? Getting good grades, graduating, asking a crush out.

All of these things are possible to accomplish, yet you need courage to achieve them because it’s scary to start if you’re afraid you might fail. You need courage to achieve them because of how hard it may get in the process.
