Answer:
The visitors to the farm walked through the corn maze, and then they bought a pumpkin.
Explanation:
Firstly, let's see if all the revised sentences make grammatical sense.
1. The visitors to the farm walked through the corn maze, and then they bought a pumpkin.
Sentence one is grammatically correct as it uses and to connect the two clauses.
2. The visitors to the farm walked through the corn maze; bought a pumpkin.
Sentence two is not grammatically correct as it has an unnecessary semi-colon with a dependent clause.
3. The visitors to the farm walked through the corn maze, they bought a pumpkin.
Sentence three does not use and to join the two clauses.
4. The visitors to the farm walked through the corn maze; and then they bought a pumpkin.
Sentence four like sentence two uses an unnecessary semi-colon that does not follow the semi-colon rule.
A semi colon should be used to join two independent clauses or to replace (and, or, but,etc)
Hope it isn't confusing, and it helped! :))
Answer:
The option which the opening paragraph does the least to accomplish is:
B. immediately pull the reader into the action
Explanation:
Let's work this one out through elimination:
A. The opening paragraph DOES establish a relationship between the narrator and a character. We are immediately told they are uncle and nephew.
B. This seems to be the right choice for us. There is not a lot of action going on. We do not know what the uncle is listening for, what to expect, what is going on. This dragging creates some suspense as we wait for the action to start.
C. The opening paragraph DOES provide a sense of setting. As soon as we are told about the "cornfield" and the "breeze", we can imagine the characters are on a farm, out in the open.
