Comparing Argumentative Texts: Silent Spring and "A Case for Waawaatesi"

Question 8 • KS-English Language Arts 9 CR

How could you correctly combine the first three sentences of the passage below to add variety? Check all that apply.I saw Amir. I was visiting New York. He lives there. We went to an Italian restaurant and ate big plates of spaghetti. It was a fun outing.

Answer
A
I saw Amir, who lives in New York, when I was visiting.
B
When I was visiting New York, I saw Amir, who lives there.
C
When I was visiting New York; I saw Amir, who lives there.
D
I saw Amir when I was visiting New York, which is where he lives.
E
I saw Amir, when I was visiting New York, that is where he lives.

Explanation

A, B, and D combine the three ideas into grammatical sentences: Amir lives in New York, and you saw him while visiting there. In D, “which” refers to New York. C incorrectly puts a semicolon after “New York,” even though “When I was visiting New York” is not a complete sentence. E joins “that is where he lives” with only a comma, creating an error, and its commas make the sentence awkward.
