the following represents the best revision of sentence Six and
- 00:25
hear the potential answer If the original sentence six definitely
- 00:31
needs some help both read it He planned to go
- 00:34
to college and because he was a great athlete he
- 00:36
even had a baseball scholarship But when world war two
- 00:39
broke out he signed up for the navy All right
- 00:42
well this sentence has several important details about granddaddy walter
- 00:46
and the trick is to get them to flow together
- 00:48
in a way that makes sense A has all the
- 00:50
details but we wouldn't say it makes all that much
- 00:53
sense Besides the fact that it's a little too wordy
- 00:56
it's also a run on sentence since there's no common
- 00:58
before the conjunction But it's also incorrect because there's no
- 01:02
comma after the introductory phrase since he was a great
- 01:06
athlete Like you need to come right there all in
- 01:08
all this sentences comma phobia turns it into a great
- 01:12
big mush we hope it's seeing someone about these irrational
- 01:15
grammatical fears It's okay well therapy wandered all right choice
- 01:19
See is no good either for one it's missing a
- 01:21
comma after the introductory phrase when world war two broke
- 01:25
out also it's wordy and convoluted little two strikes and
- 01:29
you're out choiceseat shmoop way Don't get three all right
- 01:32
option d gives us another run on sentence Yeah just
- 01:36
goes on like a there's no comma before the conjunction
- 01:40
But on top of that it's just his word he
- 01:42
is The rest of these answer choices have been well
- 01:44
anybody ever get to the point around here including us
- 01:46
Okay here we go Choice B This one is super
- 01:50
concise includes all the details and has a comma in
- 01:54
the right place so let's read it to celebrate He
- 01:57
planned to attend college on a baseball scholarship comma but
- 02:00
when world war two broke out he signed up for
- 02:03
the navy Talk about an overachiever Careful be all those
- 02:06
worthy answer choices seemed like the type to block boy
