Read the paragraph. [1] Cory tried out for his school play, Rumors, by Neil Simon. [2] Cory got the part of “Ken.” [3] Cory attended rehearsal every day after school, and he practiced his lines every night. [4] Cory was fantastic on opening night. [5] Cory made the audience laugh! Why does this paragraph lack sentence variety?
Answer

Each sentence begins with the subject.
B
Each sentence begins with the predicate.
C
Each sentence begins with a prepositional phrase.
D
Each sentence begins with a dependent clause.
Explanation
Each sentence begins with “Cory,” the subject of the sentence. Starting every sentence the same way makes the paragraph sound repetitive, so it lacks sentence variety. Choice A, “Each sentence begins with the subject,” identifies the problem.
