Question 5 • FL-1001370-English 3 Sem 1 - Flex

Read the paragraph, which is a summary of a slave narrative by Olaudah Equiano.[1] While he was working for Thomas Farmer, he began to buy fruits and other goods and sell them himself. [2] He faced insults and difficulties doing this; however, he was determined to continue making money, which he did. [3] He wanted to obtain enough savings to buy his freedom, which Robert King had promised him he could do for the same amount that King had paid for him. [4] When he had saved enough money, he bought his freedom from King and lived the rest of his life as a free man.Which sentence in the paragraph is structured differently than the others?

Answer
A
sentence 1
B
sentence 2
C
sentence 3
D
sentence 4

Explanation

Sentence 2 is structured differently because it joins two independent clauses with a semicolon and the transition “however.” Sentences 1, 3, and 4 each include a dependent clause within a complex sentence: “While he was working,” “which Robert King had promised,” and “When he had saved enough money.” Therefore, sentence 2 is the one with a different structure.
