The scene was filled with beauty. Such as the sun sending its brilliant rays to the earth and the leaves of various shades of red, yellow, and brown moving slowly in the wind.
I'm trying to do this exercise on sentence fragments. The task is to spot the incorrect sentences, and I've spotted the sentence above, but it's also interesting for me to try to correct it or, at least, to know the correct option(s). Could you help me with it, please? Here are my versions:
1. The scene was filled with beauty: the sun sending its brilliant rays to the earth and the leaves of various shades of red, yellow, and brown moving slowly in the wind.
2. The scene was filled with beauty: the sun was sending its brilliant rays to the earth and the leaves of various shades of red, yellow, and brown were moving slowly in the wind.
3. The scene was filled with beauty. The sun was sending its brilliant rays to the earth and the leaves of various shades of red, yellow, and brown were moving slowly in the wind.
The second version I like most, but I don't know if any of them is correct. What do you say?
