When a writer edits his/her own work, all four errors in grammar and usage listed above, need to be looked for.
a. Ways to replace overused words. A paragraph sounds clumsy when the same words are used too many times in a sentence/paragraph
b. Problems with verb tenses. It is very important to use the same verb tense throughout your written work.
c. Sentences missing commas and periods. If a sentence does not contain commas and periods, it is confusing and ends up being a jumble of words.
<span>d. Misused or missing capitalization.</span>
A good word choice i would guess that it would be small and a hermet because they love living alone in their cottages
Quotations add emphasis to ideas, so A is out. If quotations add emphasis to ideas then they also add strong support to claims therefore C is out. Quotations add credibility to writing as well so D is out. Therefore B is the right answer, you would not include direct quotations in a story to add length to a boring story.
