Question

Choose if the following statement is True or False:
'He is very rich, yet he is humble and grounded.' is the combined form of these sentences: 'He is very rich. He is humble and grounded.'

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Neither of these
• D. Both A and B

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

A compound sentence is made up of independent clauses that can stand on their own as sentences. Adversative compound sentences express two contrasting ideas, like in the given sentence. The general stereotype is that a rich man is not humble and down-to-earth. The sentences, hence, express contrasting ideas and 'yet' is used as an adversative conjunction to combine them. The statement is true that it is the combined form of the individual sentences. Hence option A is correct and B is incorrect. Option C is incorrect because the answer lies in A. Option D is incorrect because the answer can't be both true as well as false.
