(8) My new flat is on the ninth floor. It has a terrific view. (Join the sentences, using 'relative pronoun') (9) Christina Rossetti wrote some prose and children's verses. (Use 'It/is was .... that/who') (10) The children like to eat cakes. They like to eat biscuits. (Join the sentences, using 'not only but also')
Answer (2)
To join the first two sentences, use a relative pronoun: 'My new flat, which is on the ninth floor, has a terrific view.' For the second, restructure it to: 'It is Christina Rossetti who wrote some prose and children's verses.' Finally, combine the last two with: 'The children like to eat not only cakes but also biscuits.'

Sure! Let's go through each part of the question step-by-step:
Joining sentences using a relative pronoun:
Original Sentences: "My new flat is on the ninth floor. It has a terrific view."
When using a relative pronoun to join these sentences, we can use "which" or "that" to refer to "my new flat" since it is the subject of the first sentence. Here's how you can combine them:
"My new flat, which is on the ninth floor, has a terrific view."
This sentence now clearly specifies the flat as the subject on the ninth floor with a great view.
Using 'It is/was ... that/who':
Original Sentence: "Christina Rossetti wrote some prose and children's verses."
You can emphasize Christina Rossetti by using "It is/was ... that":
"It was Christina Rossetti who wrote some prose and children's verses."
This structure highlights Christina Rossetti as the person responsible for the writing.
Joining sentences using 'not only ... but also':
Original Sentences: "The children like to eat cakes. They like to eat biscuits."
By using "not only ... but also," you can emphasize that the children enjoy both items:
"The children like to eat not only cakes but also biscuits."
This indicates that the children's preference includes both cakes and biscuits.
