Read the passage. (1) In 1751, the Philadelphia Provincial Assembly had a bell made. (2) It was for the new State House. (3) The

bell weighed more than 2,000 pounds. (4) The bell was 12 feet in circumference around the bottom. (5) It came to be known as the Liberty Bell because it was inscribed with a motto about liberty. (6) Unfortunately, the Liberty Bell cracked in 1752 during a test ring. (7) To fix the bell, the Philadelphia Assembly had it recast. (8) Some people say the bell cracked again in 1835. (9) It was tolling for John Marshall’s funeral. (10) However, that is probably just a legend. (11) It is a fact that on February 22, 1846, the bell cracked again. (12) That crack could not be fixed. (13) The Liberty Bell has had a crack in it ever since. Which is the most effective way to combine sentences 3 and 4? More than 2,000 pounds and 12 feet in circumference around the bottom, the bell. Weighing more than 2,000 pounds and 12 feet in circumference around the bottom was the Liberty Bell. The bell weighed more than 2,000 pounds and was 12 feet in circumference around the bottom. The bell weighed more than 2,000 pounds, the bell was 12 feet in circumference around the bottom.

Most people frown about #4. It is a comma splice which means that 2 main clauses hung together by a comma. The better way to do it is with a ; since the two statements are unrelated. In this case it is a very fine point of grammar which is more annoying than wrong.

#1 is wrong because there is no main clause. The bell is the beginning of the main clause.

#2 is passive. It's not wrong, but the writing style could be better.

#3 <<<< answer The and is the proper way to connect 2 predicates.

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer: Remembering what her motivation for learning French was at the beginning, and making short-term goals, instead of long-term goals would most help Jana achieve her goal.

Explanation: Motivation is the motor of learning. If Jana started learning French, but one semester later she didn't speak as much as she did before, is probably due to setting long-term goals, instead of short-term goals. Languages are a long road to walk, and setting ambiguous and unspecific goals can lead us to lose motivation since we can believe It's impossible to achieve them. However, If Jana also set specific short-term goals, she would see progress in a short time and be more motivated to continue.
