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.
Answer:THE NUMBER OF LINES
Explanation:
The correct answer is B. It is the only one that should be written with periods - a.m., meaning - ante meridiem, or 'before noon'. The other examples are written without a period.
