Question 13

To combine the two sentences with "but", we need to show the contrast between the dog eating all food and still being hungry. The first option has incorrect word order. The third option changes the meaning. The second option correctly combines them: "The dog ate all of her food, but she was still hungry."

We need to combine the two sentences, showing that our leader (Mr. Giles) encouraged us to bring water. The first option misinterprets the relationship. The second option says Mr. Giles brought water, which is wrong. The third option says the leader encouraged Mr. Giles, which is incorrect. The fourth option correctly uses commas to identify the leader as Mr. Giles and combines the sentences: "Our leader, Mr. Giles, encouraged us to bring plenty of water."

Answer:

The dog ate all of her food, but she was still hungry.
