Writing a Personal Statement — Quiz

Question 2 • English IV

Read the sentence from a personal statement. My trip to the car show got me thinking about my future. Which is the best way to revise and expand the sentence to relay the writer’s experiences more precisely?

Answer

Sometimes I get inspiration from a range of sources, like the car show, which made me think about my future goals.

I find it’s helpful to think about my future and to allow things like my trip to the car show to help me figure it out.

Visiting the car show made me realize that I can combine my interests in design and engineering rather than choosing just one.

When I took a trip to the cool car show, I saw a lot of sweet designs and engineering and that made think about my future.

Explanation

Choice C adds specific details about what the writer experienced and how the trip influenced their thinking: the car show helped them see they could combine interests in design and engineering. The other choices are vague or use informal wording, and choice A also has a grammar error: “made think” should be “made me think.”
