I assume that "And has driven" should be " a nd has driven", and "diving" should be "d r iving". I believe that the correct answers are supposed to be (4) and (4). The other contenders are (2) and (2) (the rest are more clearly ungrammatical).
- I assume that "And has driven" should be " a nd has driven", and "diving" should be "d r iving".
- I believe that the correct answers are supposed to be (4) and (4).
- The other contenders are (2) and (2) (the rest are more clearly ungrammatical).
- I believe that (2) and (2) are supposed to be excluded because of the comma -- specifically because the part after the comma would be a continuation of the same clause rather than a separate clause.
- This "rule" is widely ignored if the comma helps readability.
