Question

My favorite basketball team is Texas. The Texas team is called the Longhorns.

What is the BEST way to combine the information in the two sentences?
My favorite basketball team, Texas, is called the Longhorns.
My favorite basketball team is called the Longhorns.
My favorite basketball team is Texas called the Longhorns.
My favorite basketball team is Texas, and the Texas team is called the Longhorns.

Answer 1

I think the answer is D.

A is out because "texas" is important info and the commas imply that it is not necessary.

B is out because you did not include where the team is from.

C is out because it is very choppy and repetitive.

And that leaves us with D :)

Answer 2

I believe A is correct

Answer 3

Yup i'm pretty positive it is A
