Hamlet, Part 8: Themes

Question 11 • *HSA 26-27 English IV A -IC

Which revision of the passage best connects ideas and adds variety?

Answer

Running is great exercise, or it is an inexpensive activity. You can run on a treadmill. You can run outdoors. You should not, therefore, run on icy roads.

Running is great exercise. Running is inexpensive, yet you can run on a treadmill. You can run outdoors, however you should not run on icy roads.

Running is great exercise, and it is inexpensive. You can run on a treadmill, or you can run outdoors. You should not run on icy roads, however.

Explanation

Choice C connects related ideas with conjunctions: “and” joins the benefits of running, while “or” links the two places to run. It also varies the sentence structure and places “however” naturally at the end to signal a contrast. Choice A uses “or” where “and” is needed to show both benefits, and B joins ideas awkwardly.
