Question

Coach Robinson blows his whistle to stop play. Which revision correctly uses an adverb to create a more detailed sentence? Question 7 options: a) Coach Robinson often blows his whistle to stop play. b) The blue team makes a quick score, so Coach Robinson blows his whistle to stop play. c) Coach Robinson blows his whistle and throws a yellow flag to stop play, but the excited players continue scuffling. d) Coach Robinson blows his whistle to stop play when the game gets rough.

Answer 1

The answer is a because the first sentence is the coach blows the whistle to stop the game and to add more detail, you give background information. Saying the coach stopped the play because people were being violent is a valid answer if you were asked to provide more information as to why the coach had stopped. The reason why the first is correct is because it’s the only one that uses an adverb(often) without changing too much of the sentence but also creates a more detailed sentence.
