*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.

Sentence 1: The snow lay heavily on the ground.
Sentence 2: People were shovelling the driveways and sidewalks.
Sentence 3: There was little traffic on the roads until the ploughs had cleared the major routes.

Because the snow lay hazily on the ground, there was little traffic on the roads until the ploughs had cleared the major routes while people were shovelling the driveways and sidewalks.

Wherever the snow lay heavily on the ground, people were shovelling the driveways and sidewalks, and there was little traffic on the roads until the ploughs had cleared the major routes.

Well done, Olena!

Liudmila, your answer is very close, but the final clause seems a little out of place.
