Which is the best combination of these sentences? José received a college scholarship for baseball from Vanderbilt University. H

eduard

Original sentences: José received a college scholarship for baseball from Vanderbilt University. He has been playing for years. He will attend this fall.

Correct combination: Playing for years, Jose who will be attending this fall, received a college scholarship from Vanderbilt University.

Reasoning

1. since and for cannot be used together for time depiction.

2. "..and attending this fall" seems incomplete due to incorrect use of tense.

Hope this helps :)
