Sorry And here's your shmoop du jour brought to you

00:05

by lines You wouldn't believe how long we waited to

00:08

get this for you I'll check the following passage I

00:11

can't bring in reading a million times not a million

00:16

clothes But we're going to skin it and then we're

00:22

just gonna get started All right what change needs to

00:26

be made to sentence twenty one And here the pendulum

00:32

All right well the grammar police are always working so

00:35

we need to make sure that we look both ways

00:37

before crossing grammar avenue Yeah all right Well let's take

00:40

a look at the sentencing quest All right The characteristics

00:43

of lines and repeating patterns create movement Something wrong We'll

00:48

begin by voting option d off the island there's an

00:52

issue here and we're going to solve it So thanks

00:54

steven All right now one of the other options option

00:57

c can also be sent to outcast island because there's

00:59

no sensible reason but a comma after pattern We can't

01:03

just throw comets and wherever we feel like it there

01:06

rules people Option b doesn't improve the sense either lines

01:10

is plural like it oughta be so we're best just

01:12

leaving it alone the other announcing the sentence or plural

01:15

So it doesn't make sense for this one to be

01:16

singular talking about more than one line more than one

01:20

repeating pattern and more than one characteristic Yeah Hey wait

01:23

a second Well that thought takes us straight to option

01:26

a which coincidentally happens to be the correct answer to

01:29

the problem with this sentence is that characteristics should be

01:33

plural like the other now nes but it's Not Instead

01:37

it has an apostrophe s which makes it possessive And

01:40

in this ends there isn't anything belonging to mr characteristic

01:44

here belong to someone else Yeah anyway sometimes it's nice 00:01:48.423 --> [endTime] to belong to something Their rules people
