Question

Read the sentences.

Bill spent all day Saturday raking leaves to the curb for pickup. Allen also spent all day Saturday raking leaves to the curb for pickup.

Which is the best way to combine these two sentences?


Bill and Allen both spent all day Saturday raking leaves to the curb for pickup.


Bill spent all day raking leaves to the curb for pickup, and Allen, also raking leaves.


Bill spent all day Saturday raking leaves to the curb for pickup and Allen did, too.


Allen and Bill: both spent all day Saturday raking leaves to the curb for pickup.

Answer 1

The best answer would be the first one: Bill and Allen both spent all day Saturday raking leaves to the curb for pickup.
The second one isn't even a full sentence; the third has improper punctuation, and the fourth one isn't even a proper sentence and it has improper punctuation as well.
So, this goes down to the first answer. It is a complete sentence, it fully describes them both doing the same thing like the original sentence does, and everything is described just like the original.

Answer 2

The first one is the best answer
