Question

Convert compound sentence to simple sentence:
He was ill, but he attended the classes.

• A. He was ill but he still attended the class.
• B. In spite of his illness, he attended the class.
• C. Even though he was ill he attended the class.
• D. No change.

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

In spite of his illness, he attended the class.

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