Question 9 • *KCPS English Language Arts 11 (2027)

Read the sentence. Derek Jeter notched his 3,000th hit for the New York Yankees when he was thirty-seven years old in 2011 at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx. Which is the best way to revise this complex sentence?

Answer
A
Derek Jeter notched his 3,000th hit at age thirty-seven. In the Bronx at Yankee Stadium in 2011.
B
In 2011, Derek Jeter notched his 3,000th hit for the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx. He was thirty-seven years old.
C
In 2011, Derek Jeter notched his 3,000th hit for the New York Yankees. At Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, he was thirty-seven years old.
D
Derek Jeter notched his 3,000th hit for the New York Yankees when he was thirty-seven years old playing at Yankee Stadium. In the Bronx.

Explanation

Choice D clearly separates the details into two complete sentences. The first states when and where Derek Jeter recorded his 3,000th hit, and the second states his age. Choice A awkwardly makes it sound as though he was thirty-seven at Yankee Stadium, while B and C end with sentence fragments.
