Answer: "Elvis Presley, whose home was Graceland in Memphis, died in 1977, but his music is still popular today".

Explanation: The sentences provided have been combined into one sentence by transforming the third sentence into a dependent clause and by joining two independent clauses with a coordinating conjunction. In the first place, the sentence "Graceland in Memphis was his home" was transformed into a dependent clause and placed between commas after the noun phrase "Elvis Presley". Moreover, this dependent clause has been introduced by "whose". On the other hand, the second sentence ("his music is still popular today") was joined to the first sentence by adding a comma and the coordinating conjunction "but" before "his music".

Ivory · Answer 2

One could use the second sentence as a main clause, while the first sentence is transformed into an adverbial clause and the third sentece becomes a parenthetical, adjective clause:

Though Elvis Presley (whose home was Graceland in Memphis) died in 1977, his music is still popular today.
