<span>In the context of this passage (or any other passage, for that matter), the phrase a rule of thumb is best understood to mean a rule that usually works. The correct answer is D. It is a principle that is not necessarily always reliable, but works most of the time. Unfortunately, the phrase comes from domestic violence, where it was stated that a man could beat his wife as long as the stick he used for beating her wasn't thicker than his thumb. </span>

<span>Umbrella comes from the Latin word umbra, which means “shade.”

The best way to choose this answer is to eliminate the other possibilities. The last option is not grammatically correct. The two sentences are complete, but only joined with a comma. This is not enough and creates a run-on. The first option uses commas to create a phrase (coming from the Latin word umbra). The sentence should make sense if this phrase is eliminated - it doesn't. The third option doesn't even sound grammatically correct.

How does sentence fluency affect a writer work?
wariber [46]
Honestly if I were you I would chose either C or B. Sentence fluency is the rhythm and flow of a essay or what ever is being written. I helps the reader follow along with the piece so they stay interested and wanting to read more. So C would probably be your best answer.
