If Ashridge would benefit from the renovations, the author should develop this idea by showing how that benefit would happen, that is, the author should show what the renovations would do to Ashridge and how it would be good for her, in some way. You will only be able to identify these benefits from reading the text, but it is likely that the author makes it very clear what positive results the renovations will bring to Ashridge.
Acton is = swinging
the verb is= felt because it is a word to describe the state of being
Answer:
The best option to modify this sentence is: change then to than.
Explanation:
There is no mistake in the way the sentence is punctuated. Also, "calm" is an adjective referring to lake, so it does not need to be changed. "Calmly" is an adverb, and would be used differently.
However, there is a misspelling in "then". The correct word is "than", which a part of the expression "would rather... than...", which expresses preference. That is the only problem with the sentence. The correct form is:
If I were a duck, I would rather swim in a calm lake than a fast moving stream.
Another example with "would rather... than..." would be:
She said she would much rather not buy it at all than borrow the money to do it.
