Question

Read the passage.

Answer 1

The correct answer is C. Divide sentence 2 into two or more sentences

Explanation:

The text presented in the question that is about the history of the Heinz brand and how this company was created is divided into four main sentences each of which deals with different points that explain the main topic of the text. This is important as it is recommended each of the parts that compose a text is well balanced and any of the parts should be excessively longer or shorter than other. In the case of sentence 2, it seems quite long and composed by more than one sentence, because of this dividing this sentence in two or more sentence would make the text more balanced and clearer for the reader as the structure of sentence 2 "Manufacturing horseradish, pickles, and sauerkraut, Heinz became a success in the food-processing industry, later adding a number of other products, such as ketchup, to its line" is quite complex and would be a better option first stating Heinz became a success and then in a different sentence stating Heinz decided to add other products. Thus, the most effective way to vary the sentence patterns is to divide sentence 2 into two or more sentences.
