which sentence in the paragraph is structured differently than the others?
○ sentence 1
○ sentence 2
○ sentence 3
○ sentence 4

Explanation:

Sentences 1, 3, and 4 are compound or complex sentences that follow a standard structure of connecting related clauses to show sequence or purpose. Sentence 2 uses a semicolon followed by the conjunctive adverb "however" to contrast two independent clauses, and it also includes a non-restrictive clause starting with "which" that modifies the entire preceding independent clause, creating a more layered, contrasting structure that differs from the linear, sequential structure of the other sentences.

Answer:

sentence 2
