Combine sentences into one
Input: A text and a focus passage of a few short sentences that need to be merged into a single, longer sentence.
Task
Combine the given sentences into one well-constructed sentence. Produce exactly 3 variants.
Each variant should:
- Preserve every substantive idea from the original sentences. Don't drop facts, images, or qualifications.
- Maintain the writer's voice. Match the diction, register, and level of formality visible in the surrounding context.
- Use a different syntactic strategy — e.g., one variant might use subordinate clauses, another a participial phrase, another a colon or dash construction. The point is to give the writer genuinely distinct options, not three cosmetic rearrangements.
- Read as a natural long sentence, not a short sentence with conjunctions stapled on. Avoid chains of "and … and … and."
Output format
No preamble, no commentary beyond the note. Three variants, nothing else.
