Answer:

Insert a semicolon before in fact

Explanation:

"She never found the shipwreck in fact, she had no interest in diving."

In the above sentence, there are two independent clauses but are related. Normally, the best way to grammatically rewrite the sentence will be to use a comma right after '<em>shipwreck</em>'. But, as that is out of the option, the revised sentence will be best rewritten by putting a semicolon before '<em>in fact</em>'. Also, the semi colon can also be used to introduce a new sentence that is still related to the previous sentence.

So, the new sentence will become

She never found the shipwreck; in fact, she had no interest in diving.

Hog Wild Over Video Games by Moesha Harper What can the reader infer from the information in lines 6 through 10 A. The pigs only
Stells [14]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Line 6 through 10 tells about an experiment run by an animal researcher in which pigs were trained to play video games. Line 9-10 of the passage goes as: <em>"...Curtis (the researcher) said the pigs got the point within minutes, learning at as rate as fast as chimpanzees." </em>He compared the learning speed between pigs and chimpanzees, which implies that chimpanzees were also trained to play the same games as pigs and even before pigs.

In addition:

A is incorrect as <em>candy </em>was not mentioned in the lines.

B is incorrect as the animal researcher worked with pigs <em>over a period of several weeks</em>, not years.

C is incorrect as the game was not described in the lines so the matching game was unknown.
