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.

pshichka [43]

Answer:

Explanation:

Since there are no directions, I assume you are trying to get rid of the slight ambiguity created by the misplacement of "after the police arrested them."

It sounds like the property is getting arrested.

Correct by putting "After the police arrested them," At the beginning of the sentence.

After the police arrested them, the protesters were charged with destroying college property.
