Question

Combine the following pairs of sentences by making use of participles:
We met a man. He was carrying a load of wood.

• A. We met a man who was carrying a load of wood.
• B. Having met a man, he was crying a load of wood.
  
• C. Carrying a load of wood, we met a man.
  
• D. We met a man and he was carrying a load of wood.
  

Answer 1

The correct option is A We met a man who was carrying a load of wood.

Since the two sentences have a common subject, to combine them, a relative pronoun is used. Therefore Option A is correct. The rest of the options do not refer to the common subject, do not use a relative pronoun or use the wrong sequence of events, hence these are incorrect.
