Answer:
D. I see three new students on the roster: Brown, Brian; Jones, Janis; and Monroe, Max.
Explanation:
In this situation, due to commas using two functions may lead to confusion, a semicolon is used as a more powerful comma.
A does not use this, so <em>it could be misread easily</em>.
B puts the semicolon where only a comma could suffice, so <em>it separates the entity "Brown, Brian" and turns it into "Brown" "Brian, Jones"</em>.
C works correctly <em>until the oxford comma, which throws up the entity grouping</em>.
D is the only one that perfectly groups the three entities.

Answer: The reaping stage in District 12.A reaping was an annual event that took place in every district before each Hunger Games, where the tributes of the upcoming Games were chosen.Each district's escort randomly chose the name of one male and one female tribute from two separate glass balls. Those picked are then the official tributes for the upcoming Games. Only children aged 12-18 were reaped.The District 12 reapings for the 75th Hunger GamesOnce of age, a potential tribute's name was entered into the reaping one time. The entries were cumulative, so when a possible tribute was thirteen, their name was added one more time. This continued until age 18, when a potential tribute's name was entered 7 times, or more if they apply for tesserae.Each age group was contained in roped-off areas in the town square, waiting for someone to be picked. The reapings took place at different times in different districts, so that Capitol citizens could watch them all live on television. Many members of the Capitol often placed bets on who would be chosen. Unless someone was on their deathbed, they would be imprisoned for not attending their district's reaping.The District 12 reaping took place in the center of town, in a place called the Justice Building[1] (Hall of Justice in the films)[2].
Explanation:
The paragraph is beyond choppy and uncomfortable to read because of it. There are too many short sentences and not enough complex ones, making it hard to follow any kind of flow the paragraph has the potential to offer. Because there were no transitions of any kind, it was hard to try and smoothly combine topics. For example, the first two sentences seem abrupt and confusing standing on their own like that. The narrator went from loving swimming to randomly speaking about the beach, and it was hard to follow until you got to the end of the second sentence, understanding then where the connection was between the two. It is hard to even figure out if the paragraph is about swimming or about the beach, and nothing was incorporated smoothly.
There are tons of things to do at local beaches, and people should spend more time at them instead of hanging out indoors all day. The beach offers a place to develop strong swimming skills, and learning to swim is one of my happiest childhood memories. I am glad I learned to swim at the beach.
Rearranging the way beaches and a love for swimming were introduced allow for it to be more easy to understand.
