Question 2 • ELA 10B - 2023

Read Wren's sentence.Physical books supports better focus and memory retention, while e-books can be distracting due to digital device notifications.Which revision corrects an error?

Answer
A
changing "supports" to "support"
B
changing "retention" to "retension"
C
removing the comma
D
adding a comma after "distracting"

Explanation

“Physical books” is plural, so it needs the plural verb “support,” not “supports.” The sentence should read, “Physical books support better focus and memory retention, while e-books can be distracting due to digital device notifications.” “Retention” is spelled correctly, and the comma before “while” separates the two contrasting clauses.
