Combining simple sentences into a complex sentence
can improve your writing. You are being asked to combine two simple sentences by making
one sentence a subordinate relative clause (or dependent clause) that modifies or
describes a noun in your independent clause. Looking at the first sentence, we can
identify three nouns: comic, technique, and parody. The second sentences tells more
about the comic so we will make this our subordinate clause and place it after the noun
comic in the first sentence. An subordinate clause that describes
is called an adjective clause and is usually introduced by a relative pronoun such as
that, which, or who.


The new, improved sentence will
read:


The comic, who does impressions of
people, uses an old humor technique called
parody.
