Answer

Brief Explanations:

The original sentences state that the cat Margo disappeared for two - days and then came back with six baby kittens. We check each option for the same meaning.

  1. "Our cat, Margo, disappeared for two days last week, and she came back with six baby kittens" simply combines the two sentences with "and", keeping the original meaning.
  2. "Margo, our cat, had six baby kittens after she disappeared for two days last week" correctly shows the sequence of events as in the original.
  3. "After disappearing for two days last week, our cat, Margo, came back with six baby kittens" also conveys the correct order of Margo disappearing and then returning with kittens. The other two options change the meaning by suggesting the kittens or Margo's kittens disappeared, which is not what the original sentences say.

Answer:

Our cat, Margo, disappeared for two days last week, and she came back with six baby kittens. Margo, our cat, had six baby kittens after she disappeared for two days last week. After disappearing for two days last week, our cat, Margo, came back with six baby kittens.
