Question

1. read the passage

we were glad that she had made a friend. we werent sure about the offhand attitude in which she ditched the presentation and us!
how could the sentences be combined?
○ friend, because we werent
○ friend, but we werent
○ friend. but we werent
○ friend we werent

Explanation:

The original sentences show a contrast: glad about making a friend but unsure about the offhand attitude. The conjunction "but" is used to show contrast within a single sentence (not starting a new sentence with "But" which would be a new independent clause, and "because" is illogical here as the first part isn't a cause for the second). Also, a comma is needed before "but" to connect the two independent clauses properly. So the option "friend, but we weren't" is correct as it uses the correct conjunction for contrast and proper punctuation.

Answer:

B. friend, but we weren't (assuming the second option is labeled as B; if the options are in order, the second circular option with "friend, but we weren't")
