Answer 1

Hint: You should focus on connecting the sequence of actions in the given sentence to make them more relevant and meaningful.
Complete step by step answer:
As given in the hint, we need to join the sequence of actions to form a meaningful sentence.
1) In the first part; Spectacle refers to a vision or a sight. It acts as the object of the sentence. While ‘I’ is the subject in the sentence and ‘returned’ is the main verb. We also have an adjective ‘appalling’ which refers to something that is shocking or bad. The adjective is describing the object ‘spectacle’. We know that an auxiliary verb is used to modify the mood and tense of the main verb.
Hence, the correct sentence is- When I returned, there was an appalling spectacle.
2) In the second part; Wanda is the name of a person. Hence, it is a proper noun and the subject of the sentence. We use the auxiliary verb with the main verb as it indicates the mood and tense of the main verb. Also, the conjunction ‘because’ is used to present the reason for something.
So, the correct answer is- Wanda did not sit there because she was rough and noisy.
Note: We have used the Subject-verb-object (SVO) format to complete the formation of the sentence.
