Answer

Brief Explanations:

  1. Combine the two - part description of the Siamese cat into one sentence with a more logical connection.

  2. I held my finger still and my mother removed the splinter of wood.
  3. Since the roads were very icy, I drove slowly and with great caution.
  4. George made all the arrangements because he wanted everything to be perfect.
  5. Raj thought we had forgotten his birthday, but we appeared with a cake and gifts.
