1. Most species of Australopithecus were diminutive and gracile, <b><u>usually </u></b><u>standing 1.2 to 1.4 m (3 ft 11 in to 4 ft 7 in) tall.</u><br/><br/>I'd like to know if I can rephrase the underlined participle phrase to the following.<br/><br/>2. and they usually stand 1.2 to 1.4 m tall.<br/><br/>Thank you in advance for your help.
