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

Explanation:

Sentences 1, 3, and 4 are compound or complex sentences with a single independent clause paired with a dependent clause or additional detail. Sentence 2 uses a semicolon to connect two independent clauses joined by the conjunctive adverb "however", creating a compound sentence with a contrasting structure that differs from the others, which rely on relative clauses or subordinating conjunctions for additional information.

Answer:

sentence 2
