    Grammar adding oviparity and insectivore

    Discussion in 'Word Mechanics' started by Inouez, Dec 15, 2021.

    Hi

    similar question.

    Original sentence is,
    It is amazing that a duck-billed platypus is a mammal, yet lays eggs.

    I need to add two words "insectivore" and "oviparity".

    My own making is,,,,
    (1) It is amazing that a duck-billed platypus, semiaquatic insectivore/carnivore, is a mammal, yet oviparity (= lays eggs).
    (2) It is amazing that a duck-billed platypus, semiaquatic insectivore/carnivore, is a mammal, yet is an oviparity (= lays eggs).
    (3) It is amazing that a duck-billed platypus, semiaquatic insectivore/carnivore, is a mammal, yet is oviparity (= lays eggs).
    (4) It is amazing that a duck-billed platypus, semiaquatic insectivore/carnivore, is a mammal, yet has oviparity (= lays eggs).
    (5) It is amazing that a duck-billed platypus, semiaquatic insectivore/carnivore, is a mammal, yet has an oviparity (= lays eggs).

    I am wondering if it should be either
    is or has or an or something.

    If you have any advice, please help me out.
