Question

His eyes caught a heap of letters. They were lying on the table. (Combine using a Relative CIause)

• A. His eyes caught a heap of letters and were lying on the table
• B. His eyes caught a heap of letters which were lying on the table
• C. His eyes caught a heap of letters but were lying on the table
• D. His eyes caught a heap of letters so that were lying on the table

Answer 1

Answer:

B. His eyes caught a heap of letters which were lying on the table

• We are combining the two sentences using a relative clause. The relative pronoun "which" is used to provide additional information about the heap of letters, specifically that they were lying on the table.

• "which were lying on the table" correctly modifies "a heap of letters" and connects the two ideas in a single sentence.
