Analyzing Tone and Identifying Central Ideas: Chief Joseph's speech "An Indian's View of Indian Affairs"

Question 3 • 26/27 ENGLISH 11 A

Read the sentences.[1] I am interested in history. [2] I decided to read the Declaration of Independence. Which of the following options shows the best revisions of sentences 1 and 2 to create sentence variety without combining the sentences?

Answer
A
I decided to read the Declaration of Independence. I am quite interested in history.
B
I am interested in the Declaration of Independence. I decided to study history.
C
History interests me. I decided to read the Declaration of Independence.
D
History interests me. The Declaration of Independence is something I decided to read.

Explanation

“History interests me” changes the first sentence’s structure while keeping its meaning. The next sentence, “I decided to read the Declaration of Independence,” has a different structure, so the two sentences show variety without being combined. Choice D is wordier than necessary, and choice B changes the original meaning.
