Question

Combine these sentences by turning one of them into a phrase.

Icy winds make the continent seem even colder. They blow across Antarctica throughout the year.

Icy winds make the continent seem even colder; and they blow across Antarctica throughout the year.

Icy winds, which blow across Antarctica throughout the year, make the continent seem even colder.

Icy winds make the continent seem even colder and they blow across Antarctica throughout the year.

Icy winds make the continent seem even colder, they blow across Antarctica throughout the year.

Answer 1

In the original two sentences, the information about the icy winds and their location in Antarctica is repeated. To combine the sentences, we can use a phrase to provide additional information about the icy winds in a more concise and clear manner. By restructuring the sentence and using a relative clause, we create a single sentence that conveys the same information. The revised sentence, "Icy winds, which blow across Antarctica throughout the year, make the continent seem even colder," effectively combines the two ideas into a single sentence.
