This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:
What change should be made in sentence 3? (Mikayla placed the dough on her right hand and then spins it into the air, trying to mimic the chef.)
A. Insert a comma after "fist".
B. Change "then" to "than".
C. Change "spins" to "spun".
D. Change "it" to "them".
Answer:
The change that should be made in sentence 3 is:
C. Change "spins" to "spun".
Explanation:
The sentence "Mikayla placed the dough on her right hand and then spins it into the air, trying to mimic the chef" is incorrect for only one reason - the shift in verb tenses. The sentence begins with a verb in the simple past and, all of a sudden, changes to the simple present. It is clear that this is a sequence of actions that took place in the past, one after the other, so the shift is inappropriate in this case. To correct it, we must change the verb in the present form (spins) to the past form (spun):
Mikayla placed the dough on her right hand and then spun it into the air, trying to mimic the chef.
You didn’t give any options. Therefore, I can not answer. You said “which choice” but did not not give any choices.
B: An introduction begins an essay, while a conclusion ends it
<span>Predictable Paragraph Organization: </span>To maintain optimal coherency, organize paragraphs in the way that readers are accustomed. For example, unless there is a compelling reason to do otherwise, place the topic sentence in the first position of the paragraph. The topic sentence appears in the first position of the paragraph 80% of the time in expository writing. Because of this high percentage, readers expect the main idea of the paragraph to be in this position. Similarly, the thesis statement appears 50% of the time as the last sentence in an essay introduction, so follow this practice as well.
Additionally, the Ancient Greeks developed the rhetorical rules for our writing, and these rules dictate that the most important idea in any communication needs to be stated first. Organize paragraphs with customary and traditional structures to be considerate to your reader.
