Answer 1

Answer:

Therefore, by combining the pair of sentences we get:

1) My uncle who is rich and famous frequently visits us.

2) She is a brilliant lawyer who sings well.

Explanation:

What is sentence combination?

To combine the sentences into one that makes sense, we have a variety of possibilities.

• Use a comma before the conjunction ("and," "but," "or," "for," or "yet") when joining two complete phrases.
• Adverbs that signal a transition between two complete sentences are known as transitional adverbs.
• If two complete sentences would naturally be combined with "and," a semicolon can be used to do so when the sentences are closely linked.

So, by using this method we can form the pair of sentences as  my uncle who is rich and famous frequently visits us. And another pair of sentence as she is a brilliant lawyer who sings well.

Answer 2

Answer:

1) My uncle that frequently visits us is very rich and famous. (Defining relative clause)

My uncle, who is very rich and famous, frequently visits us. (Non-defining clause)

2) She that sings well is a brilliant lawyer.   (Defining relative clause)

She, who is a brilliant lawyer sings well. (Non-defining relative clause)

Explanation:

• Relative clauses provide some extra/additional information about the individual or thing i.e. noun mentioned in a sentence.

• These are mainly of 2 types- Defining relative clause and non-defining relative clause.

• Defining relative clauses gives us essential information that tells us "who or what" we are speaking about.

• Relative pronouns such as who, which, that, when, where or whose or adverbs are used to start a defining relative clause.

• We can use "who or that" to speak about people. The use of "that" is more common and a bit more informal.

• We can use "which or that" to speak about things.

• Hence, a defining relative clause adds detail about a specific or defined noun.

• A non-defining clause still adds extra information, but in a slightly different way.

• While speaking something additional, they’re not necessary to the meaning of the sentence, but just add an extra non-essential dimension.

• While the clause certainly tells something interesting about the topic, the sentence would still retain the main meaning conveyed without it.

• Non-defining clauses also use relative pronouns, just as defining clauses do.

• The only difference is that we cannot use “that” with a non-defining clause, unlike defining clauses.

• We can easily spot a non-defining clause in writing, as the clause is often separated by commas at the start and end of it.  

Therefore, the above sentences can be combined into defining or non-defining relative clauses as follows-

1) My uncle that frequently visits us is very rich and famous. (Defining relative clause)

My uncle, who is very rich and famous frequently visits us. (Non-defining clause)

2) She that sings well is a brilliant lawyer.  (Defining relative clause)

She, who is a brilliant lawyer, sings well. (Non-defining relative clause)
