  3. He lives somewhere I know.
  4. I know his residence.

Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: I know his residence.

Explanation: āœ… Correct Answer: D) I know his residence. šŸ“š Explanation: A simple sentence must contain only one subject and one finite verb. The original complex sentence has two verbs ('know' and 'lives'). By converting the subordinate clause 'where he lives' into a single noun like 'residence' or 'address', we reduce the sentence to a single independent clause. Option D is the most concise and formal simple version.
