Question

Which sentence is written correctly?

1) i sat ahile and
2) I sat awhile and
3) I sat a while and
4) I sat a while and

Answer 1

The correctly written sentence is 'I sat a while and', although 'I sat awhile and' could also be correct in a different context where 'awhile' is used adverbially. Both options 3 and 4 are correct based on the information provided.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks which sentence is written correctly. Between the given options, the sentence 'I sat awhile and' is written incorrectly because when 'a while' is following the verb 'sat', it should be two separate words, making 'I sat a while and' the correct form. However, there seems to be a typo in the question as options 3 and 4 are identical. Assuming that it is not an error, and both options 3 and 4 are 'I sat a while and', then both are correct. It is important to note that 'I sat awhile and' could also be deemed correct if 'awhile' is used adverbially, but as per the context provided, it's better to use 'a while'.
