Example Question #11 : Produce Simple, Compound, And Complex Sentences: Ccss.Ela Literacy.L.3.1.I

Select the answer that correctly combines the two sentences below into one sentence: 

Adley is wearing pajamas. 

The pajamas are pink. 

Possible Answers:

Adley is wearing pink and she is wearing pajamas. 

Adley is waring pajamas and the pajamas are pink. 

Adley is wearing pink. 

Adley is wearing pink pajamas. 

Correct answer:

Adley is wearing pink pajamas. 

Explanation:

When you write, you can sometimes combine two sentences together to make a longer sentence. Two sentences can be combined if they share some of the same information. 

In this case, both sentences talk about pajamas. 

Adley is wearing pink pajamas. 

Notice that the correct answer correctly combined all of the information from both sentences. When you combine two sentences into one, you don't want to leave out any of the original, or unique, information.
