Question

Convert compound sentence to simple sentence:
He is rich, yet he is unhappy.

• A. He is rich but also unhappy.
• B. He is rich and unhappy.
• C. Even though he is rich he is unhappy.
• D. Despite being rich he is unhappy.

Answer 1

The correct option is D Despite being rich he is unhappy.

Compound sentences can be transformed into simple sentences by changing first clause into a prepositional phrase. Here "He is rich" is changed to "despite being rich". Hence, Option D is correct. The rest of the options do not fit the description, hence incorrect.
