Combining and separating a sentence helps in sentence structure variation. Period, semi-colon,comma, and coordinating conjunctions separate two independent clauses and participles combine two complete sentences.

Hint

A comma is more appropriate to separate the clauses in the given sentence.

Choice.A

She came from Italy when I was two years old. She has grown old. but she is still very strong and she cooks the best food!

There’s a lack of consistent punctuation. The period after "She has grown old" suggests a full stop, but the subsequent sentence begins with "but," indicating a continuation. This inconsistency can be resolved by using a comma or a semicolon after "old."

No change

She came from Italy when I was two years old. She has grown old:but she is still very strong and she cooks the best food!
