8. To combine the two sentences into one compound sentence, you need to connect them using a coordinating conjunction (such as "and," "but," or "or") or a transitional word (such as "when," "after," or "because").
Option A. "The dog followed the rabbit when it jumped into the bushes." This sentence uses the coordinating conjunction "when" to connect the two actions.
Option B. "After the rabbit jumped into the bushes, the dog followed it." This sentence uses the transitional word "after" to connect the two actions.
Option C. "The dog and the rabbit jumped into the bushes." This sentence merges the subjects of the two actions, but it does not convey the order of events or the cause and effect relationship between them.
Option (D). "The rabbit jumped into the bushes, and the dog followed it." This sentence uses the coordinating conjunction "and" to connect the two actions, indicating that they occurred one after the other. This option provides a clear and concise compound sentence that combines the two original sentences.
Therefore, the correct answer is (D) "The rabbit jumped into the bushes, and the dog followed it."
9. The phrase "Turning the corner" in the sentence "Turning the corner, Kate bumped into David" is an example of a participle phrase.
A participle is a verb form that functions as an adjective, often ending in "-ing" or "-ed." In this case, "turning" is the present participle of the verb "turn."
The participle phrase "Turning the corner" describes Kate and provides additional information about the action she was performing at the time of the sentence.
Therefore, the correct answer is (C) Participial.
