Planning and Writing an Effective Informational Essay

Question 5 • ELA 10B - 2023

Read Luca's sentence.Daniel seems to excel effortlessly in sports, sinking three-point shots with ease, Andrés must work tirelessly to achieve even minor victories.Which revision corrects an error?

Answer
A
adding the word "While" to the beginning of the sentence
B
removing the suffix "-ly" from the word "effortlessly"
C
removing the hyphen from "three-point"
D
changing "victories" to "victoryes"

Explanation

The sentence contains two complete thoughts joined only by a comma, which creates a comma splice. Adding “While” makes the first thought dependent and shows the contrast with Andrés’s effort, so the sentence is correctly joined. “Three-point” is properly hyphenated, and “victories” is spelled correctly.
