. Read the passage. (1) From radio’s heyday, to the early days of network TV and beyond, to today’s cable stations, situation comedies have been a popular type of show. (2) Situation comedies usually feature a continuing cast of characters, all or most of whom appear in each episode, which often results in regular viewers’ knowing the characters so well that they begin to feel like friends. (3) Typical of the genre are conventional plots in which conflicts, often over insignificant, everyday things, are quickly introduced at the beginning of the show and resolved by the end of the show, a convention that can make situation comedies seem rather formulaic. (4) Formulaic or not, many television viewers still enjoy situation comedies, though in recent years their popularity has sometimes been surpassed by that of reality shows. Which is the most effective way to vary the sentences in the passage?
A-Combine sentneces 1 and 2
b- begin sentence with different parts of speech
c-invert sentence 3
d-make some sentece shorter

The most effective way to vary the sentences in the passage is to make some sentences shorter, as expressed in option D and further explained below.

How can we vary the sentences?

We can eliminate option A because sentences 1 and 2 do not need to be combined. They are each complete on their on and combining them would only form a sentence that is way too long.

We can also eliminate option B because the sentences in the passage already begin with different parts of speech. In this sense, they are already quite varied.

Option C is also incorrect. Inverting sentence 3 could cause confusion due to the sentence's length. Therefore, the correct option is D. The sentences in the passage are long, so it would be useful to make some of them shorter.

With the information above in mind, we can choose option D as the correct answer.
