Question 6 • ELA 10B - 2023

Read the sentences.(1) After the narrator learned how to make tamales. (2) He decided to cook them at home with his family. (3) They enjoyed talking about their culture.Which edit corrects an error?

Answer
A
combining sentences 1 and 2 by turning the period into a comma
B
starting sentence 2 with the word "And"
C
combining sentences 2 and 3 by turning the period into a comma
D
editing "enjoyed talking" to "talked"

Explanation

Sentence 1 is a dependent clause because it begins with “After,” so it cannot stand alone as a complete sentence. Combine it with sentence 2 by replacing the period with a comma: “After the narrator learned how to make tamales, he decided to cook them at home with his family.” The combined sentence is complete, and sentence 3 is already a complete sentence.
