Random sentence of length 1 fails
* Faker version: 5.5.0
* OS: Ubuntu 20.04.1

Creating a random sentence of length 1 fails because it attempts to titleize the first word of the sentence, but `random_choices`  is returning a tuple which is immutable. 

This also occurs sometimes with 2 or 3 length sentences, although I presume that under the hood they are randomly selecting sentences of length 1.

This works as expected in Faker version 5.4.1.

### Steps to reproduce

```
>>> import faker
>>> thing = faker.Faker()
>>> print(thing.sentence(1))
```

### Expected behavior

A random titleized word is printed with a fullstop

### Actual behavior

```
