<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The most effective way to vary the sentence patterns in the passage is to begin sentences with different parts of speech. </em>

<em>Option D is the correct answer. </em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

After reading and observing the passage, it is evident that the word ‘pug’ is repeated in every line. Using the same noun in different sentences that are talking about the same subject, makes the sentence formation clumsy. It can be easily replaced by a pronoun (parts of speech) after its use in the starting sentence. Also, the sentences would sound better.

Answer:

The visitors to the farm walked through the corn maze, and then they bought a pumpkin.

Explanation:

Firstly, let's see if all the revised sentences make grammatical sense.

1. The visitors to the farm walked through the corn maze, and then they bought a pumpkin.

Sentence one is grammatically correct as it uses and to connect the two clauses.

2. The visitors to the farm walked through the corn maze; bought a pumpkin.

Sentence two is not grammatically correct as it has an unnecessary semi-colon with a dependent clause.

3. The visitors to the farm walked through the corn maze, they bought a pumpkin.

Sentence three does not use and to join the two clauses.

4. The visitors to the farm walked through the corn maze; and then they bought a pumpkin.

Sentence four like sentence two uses an unnecessary semi-colon that does not follow the semi-colon rule.

A semi colon should be used to join two independent clauses or to replace (and, or, but,etc)

Hope it isn't confusing, and it helped! :))
