Read the sentence. She met her friends in the lobby, the bottom floor, of the hotel so that they could head over to the refreshing pool for a cool, brisk swim. Which is the best revision of this sentence?
Answer
A
The sentence is correct as written.
B
She met her friends in the lobby of the hotel, and they headed over to the pool for a cool, refreshing swim.
C
For a cool, brisk, refreshing swim at the hotel’s pool, she met her friends in the hotel’s lobby on the bottom floor.
D
She met her friends at the hotel’s bottom floor, which is the lobby, so that they could head over to the swimming pool for a cool, brisk swim.
Explanation
Choice B is the clearest revision. It removes the awkward phrase “the bottom floor,” which incorrectly suggests that every hotel lobby is on the bottom floor, and it avoids the redundant description “refreshing pool for a cool, brisk swim.” The revised sentence keeps the main idea while expressing it more smoothly: they meet in the lobby and go to the pool for a cool, refreshing swim.
