Answer:

D) Gwendolyn Brooks, a shy woman who did not stand out in the crowd, was a well-known American poet.

Explanation:

This is the original sentence:

Gwendolyn Brooks was shy, and she did not stand out in a crowd, yet she was a well-known American poet.

This is A, revision one:

Brooks was a well-known American poet. She was very shy.

This is not a good edit, because it would cut of the fact that she didn´t stand out. The part about not standing out is necessary to fully empathize the author´s point.

This is B, revision two:

Gwendolyn was a shy person who did not stand out in a crowd.

This edit completely cuts out the fact that she was a well known poet, therefore, it cannot be the correct answer.

This is C, revision 3:

Gwendolyn Brooks is one of my favorite American poets. She was shy as a young girl.

While it says she was a poet, it takes away the meaning from the original sentence. It cannot be used.

This is D, revision 4, and our correct answer:

Gwendolyn Brooks, a shy woman who did not stand out in the crowd, was a well-known American poet.

This edit keeps the meaning of the original sentence, however, it allows the sentence to flow smoother.

Does Candy feel sorry for the dead woman? Select one: a. No - he thinks she deserved what happened to her. Incorrect b. Yes - he
SpyIntel [72]
The answer is c because Candy was excited to leave the ranch to live on a farm with Lennie and George, but since Lennie killed Curley’s wife, George tells Candy it isn’t going to happen. Candy felt no sympathy towards Curleys wife at any stage in the book, and so the answer wouldn’t be b
