Question

Which of the following would NOT improve the rhythm of prose?

Answer 1

Answer:

B. always using short, choppy sentences

Explanation:

Using short and choppy sentences  can make your writing appear unsophisticated and your ideas seem disconnected. One can use a modifying phrase to reduce the usage of short and choppy sentences

e.g I was exhausted. I stared at the page. I was unable to comprehend a single word.  can be well written as

Exhausted, I stared at the page, unable to comprehend a single word.

you can as well try starting your sentences with simple subject, a

prepositional phrase, a dependent clause, a modifying phrase, etc.
