Question

Sujatha is wealthy but she is not generous. [Rewrite as a complex sentence]

Answer 1

Hint: The student should go through the sentence carefully after reading it to understand what the sentence implies. Then they should recall the concept of complex sentences to change the given sentence into a complex sentence. This will help the student in making the right answer for the given question.

Complete answer:
In the given question, the sentence provided is a compound sentence, which is adjoined by the conjunction ‘but’ [but - On the contrary, but rather (introducing a word or clause that contrasts with or contradicts the preceding clause or sentence without the not)].
We have to rewrite this compound sentence as a complex sentence.
To do so, we need to recall what a complex sentence is and how it is framed. A complex sentence is a sentence composed of at least one main clause and one subordinate clause.
The main clause is a clause in a complex sentence that can stand alone as a complete sentence. A subordinate clause is a clause in a complex sentence that cannot stand alone as a complete sentence and that functions within the sentence as a noun or adjective or adverb.

Let us rewrite the given sentence now that we know what it consists of-
Though Sujatha is wealthy, she is not generous.
Here, ‘though’ means ‘despite the fact that; although.’

Note:
In this question, it will be helpful for the student to recall the concept of a compound sentence. A compound sentence is a sentence composed of at least two coordinate independent clauses.
