What is the BEST way to combine sentences 3 and 4?
The Gasoline Powered Engine
Before the gasoline-powered engine was invented, people traveled by train, boat, or horse-drawn wagon. Merchants could only sell their goods in nearby towns. Farmers plowed and harvested their fields by hand or by using animals. Traveling and working in these ways could be very difficult and slow. The invention of the gasoline-powered engine in the mid-1880s allowed people to change how they traveled and worked.
Changing the Way People Traveled
It didn’t take long for gasoline-powered engines to be used in cars and other vehicles. Cars quickly became a common way of getting around. Roads and highways were built for cars to travel on. People could move from place to place more quickly and easily than ever before.
Changing the Way People Worked
The gasoline-powered engine also made work faster and easier for many people. A manufacturer could send large amounts of goods from place to place by truck. Instead of plowing and harvesting by hand or with animals, farmers could now use tractors and other machines. Farmers could also use trucks to send their produce to market.
Later, the gasoline-powered engine led to the invention of other types of engines. The jet engine is one example. Today, jet engines are used in airplanes that carry people and goods all over the world. You can go to a grocery store in the United States and buy bananas from South America and beef from Australia.
