EnglishVoice, Narration & Sentence Transformation
She wanted to go on vacation, so she saved money. Convert this to a simple sentence.
  1. a.As she wanted to go on vacation she saved money.
  2. b.She saved money for vacation.
  3. c.She wanted to go on vacation and saved money.
  4. d.Although she saved her money, she wanted to go on vacation.

Answer: (B) She saved money for vacation.

A simple sentence has only one finite verb and no joining conjunction. "She saved money for vacation" reduces the purpose clause to a prepositional phrase ("for vacation"), keeping a single clause. Option (A) creates a complex sentence with the subordinating conjunction "as", and option (C) is a compound sentence joined by "and" — both have more than one clause.
