You're welcome, Running.
To determine which sentence is the best way to rewrite the given statement, let's evaluate each option:
F. Sometimes the Coffins helped disguise themselves by putting elegant clothing on the travelers.
This sentence suggests that the Coffins are disguising themselves by putting clothing on the travelers. However, the original statement implies that the travelers are the ones being disguised.
G. The Coffins sometimes helped themselves by disguising the travelers in elegant clothing.
This sentence accurately conveys that the Coffins are helping themselves by disguising the travelers. It maintains the original meaning and is a valid option.
H. Sometimes the Coffins helped the travelers disguise themselves by giving them elegant clothing to wear.
This sentence suggests that the Coffins are helping the travelers in disguising themselves by providing them clothing. However, the original statement does not imply that the travelers are actively involved in disguising themselves.
J. The travelers sometimes helped the Coffins by putting on elegant clothing to disguise themselves.
This sentence conveys the opposite meaning of the original statement. It suggests that the travelers are actively helping the Coffins by disguising themselves, whereas the original statement implies that the Coffins are the ones helping the travelers.
Based on the evaluation, option G is the best way to rewrite the original statement, as it accurately conveys the intended meaning.
