Which sentence combines these two sentences with an appositive phrase?


1) Adapting an innovation in factory production, Henry Ford used the assembly line to make cars.
2)Henry Ford adapted the assembly line, which was an innovation in factory production.
3)Henry Ford adapted the assembly line, an innovation in factory production, to produce cars.
4)Henry Ford adapted the assembly line to make cars, and the assembly line is an innovation in factory production.

Answer 1

Let's see.
Number two leaves out the detail that he adapted it to make cars, so we can eliminate that option.
Number three doesn't look like a fluid sentence, just sort of mashed together.
Number four looks awkwardly worded so I'd go with number one.

Answer 2

I would say Number One but I guess it could be Number Four but is to worded and would sound better as two sentences.
