Answer:

  1. Harriet Tubman and her family lived in slavery.
  2. Hardship and struggles shaped their lives.
  3. Harriet Tubman and her parents escaped.
  4. Slave owners and the police looked for Tubman.
  5. Tubman and the slaves with her never got caught.
  6. Careful planning and quick thinking led to her success.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentences are combined to form a single sentence with the same predicate (verb phrase) by joining the subjects. This helps simplify and condense the information while keeping the meaning intact. In the combined sentences, the subjects (Harriet Tubman, her family, hardship and struggles, etc.) are linked to the same verb phrase (lived in slavery, shaped their lives, escaped, looked for, never got caught, led to her success), making it easier to understand the relationship between the subjects and the action described.
