Answer 1

D. After she had been in a terrible accident, Lupita never again asked

to drive the car.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

D. After she had been in a terrible accident, Lupita never again asked

to drive the car.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alternative A cannot be correct because it does not form a complex sentence

Alternative B cannot be correct because the meaning is not retained. The two sentences have a connection of cause, which is not presented here.

Alternative C cannot be correct because, despite the meaning is correct, she and Lupita here denote two different persons, while they are supposed to be the same.

Alternative D carries all the required parameters and is the correct answers. The connection between the sentences is one of cause and effect, and she and Lupita refer to the same person.
