Question 2 • CA-Common Core English Language Arts 11 B
Read the paragraph.Even though my life is very busy, I spend as much time as I can with my family. I often ask my dad, who is an excellent athlete to play soccer with me. I also enjoy taking walks, baking desserts, and playing cards with my mom. However, nothing is better than watching movies with my loyal cat, Max.How should this paragraph be revised so that it is correct?
Answer
A
The word “soccer” should be capitalized.
B
Insert a comma after “cards”
C
The comma after “however” should be removed.
D
Insert a comma after “athlete”
Explanation
The phrase “who is an excellent athlete” adds extra information about the writer’s dad, so it should be enclosed by commas. There is already a comma before “who,” but a closing comma is needed after “athlete.” The revised sentence reads: “I often ask my dad, who is an excellent athlete, to play soccer with me.”
