Q3
EnglishVoice, Narration & Sentence Transformation
Convert the given sentence into a simple sentence: Pancakes are delicious but not without syrup.
  1. a.Pancakes are delicious when served with syrup.
  2. b.Pancakes are delicious only with syrup.
  3. c.If served with syrup, pancakes are delicious.
  4. d.None of the above

Answer: (B) Pancakes are delicious only with syrup.

The original sentence means pancakes are delicious only on the condition that syrup is present. "Pancakes are delicious only with syrup" captures this exact conditional meaning in a single clause. Option (C) introduces a conditional clause with "if", making it complex rather than simple.
