Explanation:
It's dramatic but also sympathetic for the person they're talking about.
Answer:
D. In a severe thunderstorm in an effort to get home in time to watch my favorite program.
Explanation:
Sentence fragments usually don't have a verb or subject. For B, sub is I, verb is drove. For C, sub is electricity and I, verb is was working and arrived. A is an interesting one, but we don't have to bother figuring out the subject and verb cause option D is filled with nothing but prep phrases, automatically making that our answer.
The answer is b., due to how the rhythm seems to be more fluidic
I'd choose this dialogue to revise your sentence:
<span>“Did you hear?” I asked them. “My painting got selected! Exciting, right?” I smiled. “Especially given that I felt so incompetent at the beginning and that the competition was ruthless!”
</span>
It feels like the option that best uses the dialogue to improve this sentence, because the other options are either too informal or just the same sentence as the original one.
