Question

Combine the simple sentences to form a meaning compound sentence:

a)Despite finding your idea interesting, I agree with it.
b)If I agree with your idea, I find it interesting.
c)I agree with your idea and I find it interesting.
d)I agree with your idea because I find it interesting.

Answer 1

Hint: Simple sentences should be connected in such a way that it establishes a relation between the two sentences when transformed into a compound sentence.

Complete step-by-step answer:

Option (a) readily disagrees with the grammatical norms. The two sentences reflect the sense of agreement between them while ‘despite’ is used to show contrast so its usage in the given sentence is inappropriate. So, option a is incorrect.
Option b is also incorrect. ‘If’ represents the presence of condition for a certain event to take place. The stated sentence gives a sense of a cause-effect relationship rather than a condition.
Option c is also incorrect. Though this option is grammatically correct
it does not portray the required coherent meaning that the sentence hints at. It does not form the required relationship that should be established between the two given sentences.
Option d is the correct option. It creates a relationship and gives coherent meaning to the sentence. I agree with your idea; why? because I find it interesting. It answers the question of why has a particular event taken place.

Note: Only grammatically perfect sentences should not be looked for. Sentences should have coherent meaning.
