Question 2 • [ELA10] ELA 10, Sem 2 (26-27)

Which is the best revision to fix the error in the underlined sentence?

Answer
A
The guitar is another excellent instrument for beginners it takes more practice than a recorder.
B
The guitar is another excellent instrument for beginners; however, it takes more practice than a recorder.
C
It takes more practice than a recorder, and the guitar is another excellent instrument for beginners.
D
The guitar is another excellent instrument for beginners consequently it takes more practice than a recorder.

Explanation

The original sentence joins two complete thoughts, so it needs correct punctuation and a transition. Choice B uses a semicolon before “however” and a comma after it to connect the ideas correctly. “However” also shows the contrast between the guitar being a good beginner instrument and requiring more practice than a recorder.
