to revise sentences Eleven and twelve so that they are
- 00:34
less choppy and ineffective and hear the angel answers kidneys
- 00:41
Okay so let's start by taking a good look att
- 00:43
sentences in question and yep there Choppy All right Both
- 00:47
of these senses air kind of short And since they're
- 00:49
similar in structure and content well we might as well
- 00:51
go ahead and squishing get they might want a little
- 00:54
elbow room but they pay for first class Option d
- 00:58
is grammatically incorrect making it the worst option of the
- 01:01
bunch if we have a cynical and connecting two independent
- 01:04
clauses Well there's no need for the conjunction but here
- 01:07
we have a case of two cents elements trying to
- 01:09
do the same job It's just come down from upper
- 01:12
management so yeah no more redundancy Yeah Garcia's awkwardly phrase
- 01:17
which jumbles the meaning of the original sentences This version
- 01:21
makes it sound like the chemicals damage the brain by
- 01:23
affecting the liver and kidneys Sure faulty liver and kidneys
- 01:26
do eventually wreak havoc on the brain But that's not
- 01:28
The point the author trying to make here dramatically option
- 01:31
b is technically well a correct We've got two independent
- 01:35
clauses connected by a semicolon there's Nothing wrong on that
- 01:38
front Trouble is that the whole thing's still sounds really
- 01:41
choppy Thiss option is basically the same thing Is the
- 01:43
original just with a semicolon shoved in between the two
- 01:46
sentences Yeah we want these senses to get a little
- 01:48
closer but quite close option is the best Answer the
- 01:53
comma and coordinating conjunction Connect the sentences in a way
- 01:56
that's grammatically correct and the conjunction and gives just the
- 02:01
right amount of breathing room to help us go from
- 02:03
one sentence to another in comfort It might not be 00:02:06.34 --> [endTime] first class but it's better No
