Combining to one sentence

I need to combine these into one sentence. The suggestions written below are given

A. In one experiment a girl suspended on silk and insulators was electrified.
B. She was electrified by connecting her to a concealed generator.
C. Some willing member of the audience was invited.
D. He was invited to grasp her hand or kiss her.
E. The result was shocking.

Suggestions:
Reduce B to its main terminal prepositional phrase and join it as adverbial modifier to A. Reduce E to a prepositional phrase meaning accompaniment and join it as adverbial modifier to D. Keeping only the infinitive clause in D, connect it in its compressed form as adverbial modifier of purpose to E. Finally, join the expanded main predication to A to the other expanded main predication E with the coordinator of addition and the adverb of sequence then, to complete the sentence.

thank you!
