Read the paragraph. Neighbors are already looking forward to the grand opening of the Englewood Aquatic Center and the recreation that the center’s Olympic-sized pool will provide. With proof of address, residents will be able to sign up for discounted swimming lessons and attend weekly open swim sessions for free. The new swimming facility will take two years to build. It will be state of the art.

Which revision uses a phrase to combine the last two sentences?

Constructing this new state-of-the-art swimming facility will take two years.
The two-year construction of the swimming facility will be state of the art.
Taking years to complete, construction of the state-of-the-art swimming facility will be complete.
Construction of the new swimming facility will take two years and be state of the art.

Constructing this new state-of-the-art swimming facility will take two years.

Explanation:

The phrase state of the art refers to the highest level of development of a product. Products described as state-of-the-art are based on the newest technology. When this phrase is used as an adjective, it's written with hyphens between words - state-of-the-art.

The correct way to revise the last two sentences is: Constructing this new state-of-the-art swimming facility will take two years.

The second and fourth options are incorrect because it is the swimming facility that will be state of the art, not the construction.

The third option is incorrect because the duration of the construction is not precisely stated.

honestly, school in itself just seems to be a huge waste of time. a lot of people graduate but still end up not doing anything in college anyways, which really makes the whole point of graduating seem useless. i'd rather not bring anyone's hopes up then. what i'd recommend is for whoever's reading this to simply drop out.

i mean, kanye did it. he said something along the lines of, "don't let society tell you what to do." now, he's obviously a very successful person, and since his album is called the college dropout i guess he never really had to go through all that nonsense in order to become a millionaire. the same goes for anyone else then.

in my opinion i think it was not excessive at all. the maids turned against the queen in his absence, how could he ever trust them again? if he let them go they would surely spread the news of the suitor's deaths, which is much too risky. as for the suitors, they were selfish, rude, and greedy. the god's had apparently marked them for death, meaning odysseus made their death come faster.
