Answer 1

The novel featured many references to interesting characters from history such as William Shakespeare, Abraham Lincoln, and Albert Einstein.

Step-by-step explanation:

The syntax is the way words or phrases are arranged in a sentence to make a well-formed sentence. This means that the structure and form of how words are placed in a sentence is the syntax.

In the given sentences, there is a repetition of the phrase "[T]he novel features" which can be removed in the second part. And to make the sentence create a more interesting syntax is to incorporate the second sentence into the first, after eliminating the repeated phrase. Also, there is no mention of the historical names as a choice but rather it mentioned that the names included the three. Therefore, the phrase "such as" is used to introduce the names.

Thus, the correct sentence will be

The novel featured many references to interesting characters from history such as William Shakespeare, Abraham Lincoln, and Albert Einstein.
