Question

Read this sentence from "Daphne and Apollo—Getting What We Ask For or What We Deserve" and answer the question.

Answer 1

The correct answer is D) his poems, songs, worldly goods, and to love her eternally

The revision of the underlined section(His poems, his songs, his worldly goods, and to love her eternally) of the sentence that best clarifies what Apollo promised to Daphne is "his poems, songs, worldly goods, and to love her eternally."

The excerpt clearly says that Apollo promised all that he has: poems, his songs, his worldly goods. He also stated that he would love Daphne for all eternity. A good revision does exactly that clarify any term or sentence that could cause confusion to the reader.

Answer 2

He promised her his poems, songs, worldly goods, and to love her eternally.
