Select the option that converts the following complex sentence into a simple sentence.
I am expanding my business wherever I can find an opening.

  • A.I am expanding my business in whatever way possible.
  • B.I am pushing my business wherever I find space.
  • C.I am expanding my business in every possible direction.
  • D.I am expanding my business whence it is possible.

Answer: C

The simple sentence is 'I am expanding my business in every possible direction'. The complex sentence has the adverb clause 'wherever I can find an opening', which is replaced in the simple sentence by a phrase, 'in every possible direction'. The other options still hold a clause or change the meaning, as 'whence it is possible' does. In the complex sentence there is an adverb clause 'wherever I can find an opening', and a simple sentence has one main clause only, so the clause must become a phrase, 'in every possible direction'. The option with 'wherever I find space' keeps the clause.
