Question

When Marty rereads her draft, she realizes that sentence 6 lacks elaboration.

Answer 1

Answer:

Christy knew that Roosevelt Park had a clean, lively creek running through it.

Explanation:

The sentence you were given is the following:

Christy knew that Roosevelt Park had a creek.

The options you were given are:

• Christy knew that Roosevelt Park had some water somewhere in it.
• Christy knew that Roosevelt Park had a clean, lively creek running through it.
• Christy knew that Roosevelt Park had fresh water.
• Christy knew that Roosevelt Park had a creek in it.

Elaboration can be defined as the process of adding more information about something, for example, adding details or expanding on an idea.

Now that we know this, we can put the question you were given in different words and say that Marty realized that sentence 6 lacked details. The option that represents the best way for her to revise it is the second one. This option additionally describes the creek (a clean, lively creek) Marty mentioned, which makes it the best one.
