@Azah,
I think we can assume that the person who gave you the original sentence knows what the sentence was.
In that case, I'd suggest something much simpler.
Does this sentence convey the same meaning as the assigned sentence?
Does this sentence say the same thing as the sentence you gave me to work on?
___
n.b. in speaking, it doesn't make sense to say "the above sentence"
The other sentence fragments you've suggested do not sound natural.
