1 answer:

5 0

The writer of the excerpt can best improve his or her grammar and mechanics by adding missing commas, as stated in option A and explained below.

<h3>Where should commas be added?</h3>

The excerpt is well written, and no sentence fragments are present, which means all sentence are complete. However, there are a couple of places where the use of commas is necessary.

First, we need to add a comma after the word "Europe" in the sentence "While some Vikings raided villages along the coast of northern Europe others traded furs for money." The reason for that is the fact that the sentence begins with a subordinate clause. A comma should be placed after that clause ends.

The same happens in the sentence "Though the Vikings gained a reputation as brutal savages they also created a body of literature celebrating their proud history." A comma should be placed after "savages" to show the end of the subordinate clause.

With the information above in mind, we can select option A as the correct answer.

Answer:

My most uncomfortable moment came as a freshman in high school. I was chosen to go to the regional FFA competition to represent my school in impromptu speaking. This was an enormous task for me to undertake. I was given a binder of information, and three minutes to write an appropriate speech. Then, I had to go to a special room in front of four judges that I didn't know. The speech started with an introduction of myself and my topic, fruits and vegetables. I talked about soil preparation and weed control, and it was the longest three minutes of my life. My knees starting shaking, and I had to grab the podium to hold myself up. The whole podium started shaking, and the judges asked me if I was o.k. It took me a couple of minutes to get started because I dropped my cards, and had to reorganize them. I was sweating like a mad dog, and I then flew threw the speech. I honestly don't know if I stuttered at all, but I lost the competition, and the judges gave me a superior, which is what they give anyone who isn't good enough to win. This is a feel good mercy rating they gave me, but I made it through it and survived.
