Answer:

D) Knowing that Mrs. Mallard was afflicted with a heart trouble, great care was taken to break to her as gently as possible the news of her husband's death.

Explanation:

The best revision of the sentence includes a comma to separate the present participle clause <em>Knowing that Mrs. Mallard was afflicted with a heart trouble </em>from the next clause.

The rest of the choices are incorrect because option A has no commas at all, sentence B contains unnecessary commas, and option C separates the suject from the verb in the participle clause.

Oduvanchick [21]
It can affect your life in the business world in a lot of ways. If you have good rhetoric, you're more likely to be hired and you'll probably perform better since you'd be more persuasive and eloquent.

If you have poor rhetoric, you're probably less likely to be hired because you don't know the vocabulary or you're not very persuasive. You also might perform poorly (for instance if you had to sell something and you didn't have good speech)
