Answer 1

Answer:

with this coupon you can get two shirt for the price of one

Explanation:

Answer 2

The sentence "With this coupon, you can get two shirts for the price of one." is grammatically correct.

This is a simple sentence. Proper conjunction is used for initiating the sentence and comma is placed accurately. The syntax of the sentence is correct hence the sentence is readable. "You" (living) is the subject, "the coupon" (lifeless) is the object hence, sentence is framed correctly.

In the remaining options:

1.  "The buy-one, get-one-free coupon buys shirts." ⇒

• Here the syntax of the sentence is not correct.
• In this sentence, the "buy-one, get-one-free coupon" becomes the subject and is associated with a verb i.e referenced to be doing some action (b1,g1 buys..)
• This is not possible as the coupon is a lifeless object and cannot perform actions.  

2. "This coupon gives you two shirts in one." ⇒

• Again, the problem with this sentence is the syntax.
• The sentence is framed in a manner where the coupon becomes the subject and is associated with a verb.
• The coupon, being a lifeless object cannot be associated with verbs (action words).

3. "Buy two combined shirts for one price with this coupon." ​⇒

• The issue with this sentence is the presence of the word"combined".
• The presence of this word alters the expected meaning of the sentence.
• Here, we take away that two shirts are combined i.e they are merged to become one shirt for one price with the coupon. However, this is not the intended meaning of the sentence.
• Eliminating "combined" will correct the syntax of the sentence.
