*SENTENCE COMBINATION*

Learning to combine ideas into more complex sentences is an important writing skill. There are many ways to do this. Try to combine the following three sentences. Do not use a semi-colon.

Sentence 1: The price of gasoline remains high even though the price of oil has fallen drastically.
Sentence 2: Some may blame the weakening dollar.
Sentence 3: There always seems to be one excuse or another for the high cost of gasoline.
