Question

Convert the compound sentence to a simple sentence:
He was guilty and went into the hiding.

• A. He went into the hiding because he was guilty.
• B. Since he was guilty he went into the hiding.
• C. Being guilty, he went into the hiding.
• D. No change

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Being guilty, he went into the hiding.

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