8 0

It has been a month since the bombing of Pearl Harbor. America is officially at war with Germany and Japan, and everyone wants to do their part. In twelve-year-old Colton's case, that means stepping up at home once his older brother, Danny, ships out with the navy. But before Danny leaves for boot camp, the brothers are fishing on the Atlantic Ocean when Danny's boat is capsized by a Nazi U-boat, nearly killing him.

When more U-boats start attacking the next day, Colton realizes just how close the enemy is to American shores. With Danny's life in the balance, Colton does the only thing he can think of to help his family and his country: He steals his brother's enlisting papers and joins up instead.

Colton's bold decision leads to a deadly journey. Even if he can keep his age a secret and survive boot camp, he'll have to face Hitler's ruthless submarines. Only the longer he's on the seas, the less sure Colton is that he and his shipmates can stop such a relentless enemy.

Which sentence is written correctly?

Savatey [412]

Hey!

Hope this helps...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Before I state the answer, we have to find which answer is NOT correct.

We can see that A and C, are incorrect because they say the word "except their reward" which is talking about excluding something, not "accept their reward" which it gathering or agreeing to something.

We also see that B is incorrect because when it says "Accept for Bill," this just doesn't even make sense because the word "accept" is gathering or agreeing to something.

So...

The correct answer is:

D.) Except for Bill, all of the players were present to accept their reward...
