Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: She saved mone for vacation.

Explanation: Rule: A compound sentence (two clauses joined by a conjunction like so, and, but) can be converted into a simple sentence by using phrases (infinitive, participle, or prepositional) to reduce one clause into a phrase. ▪️Original sentence: She wanted to go on vacation, so she saved money. (compound → two clauses). ▪️To make it simple, the purpose clause (She wanted to go on vacation) is reduced into a phrase → for vacation. ▪️Thus, it becomes: She saved money for vacation. ✅
