Thank you then here's Your shmoop too sure brought to

00:05

you by spell Check If you don't use it you

00:08

lose it well not exactly but just use it Okay

00:12

all right check the falling passages Lisa's art teacher because

00:18

honey no name on it Thank you Relevant Okay well

00:29

what change needs to be made to sentence sixteen And

00:32

here the potential answer All right well our spidey senses

00:37

tell us that something's up with certain sixteen with great

00:41

knowledge comes great responsibility to help people with their spelling

00:44

and grammar so let's get to it Option a isn't

00:48

going to help in this sentence Changing organic to organically

00:53

would only cause additional problems Organic is an adjective describing

00:57

the noun style If we added the letters l l

01:00

y to the end of organic it would turn the

01:04

educative into an end for an adverb don't allowed teo

01:07

described now so this option is definitely off the list

01:11

Option b is eerily similar to option A nearby is

01:14

an adverb that describes the adjective unrecognizable No problems here

01:19

right Right But if we sniffed the l y ending

01:22

we'd turn nearly into the adjective near now This isn't

01:26

grammatically incorrect all the time Since adjectives can describe other

01:30

adjectives however it would change the meaning of at least

01:32

a sense The point here isn't that o'keefe organic style

01:36

made unrecognizable designs that seemed near or close to the

01:40

viewer The point is that they were nearly or almost

01:44

unrecognizable Our teacher used to say the same thing about

01:48

our self portrait but that's a separate issue you know

01:51

Why didn't we become things all right Well anyway the

01:53

correct answer is c sentence sixteen is correct Step for

01:55

the spelling of unrecognizable to swap out the eye for

01:59

anay and we're good to go and since we found

02:01

an error we can also eliminate option d those quickly

02:05

red lines and word aren't some weird form of artistic

02:08

expression They're there to help us so yeah go ahead 00:02:11.233 --> [endTime] gives bell check it click We'll wait
