Question

form a compound sentence.
mrs. brady _______________________________________ tickets to the symphony.
and her husband, andrew, are excited about the free
or her cousin, katie, will buy
loves the violin, so mr. brady bought
won two front - row

Explanation:

To form a compound sentence, we need a clause that connects logically with "Mrs. Brady" and the rest about tickets. Let's analyze each option:

• Option 1: "and her husband, Andrew, are excited about the free" – The subject-verb agreement is off (Mrs. Brady... are) and it doesn't connect well with "tickets to the symphony".
• Option 2: "or her cousin, Katie, will buy" – The structure "Mrs. Brady or her cousin..." doesn't fit with the later "tickets to the symphony" in a compound sentence context here.
• Option 3: "loves the violin, so Mr. Brady bought" – This creates a logical compound sentence: "Mrs. Brady loves the violin, so Mr. Brady bought tickets to the symphony." It has a cause - effect relationship with a conjunction "so" and connects the two clauses properly.
• Option 4: "won two front - row" – This is an incomplete phrase and doesn't form a proper clause to connect with "Mrs. Brady" and the rest.

Answer:

loves the violin, so Mr. Brady bought
