Question 143277 • Language Arts 2A - Mr. Crissinger

Which sentence correctly revises the underlined section in the passage?

Answer
A
From cooking to working out, having a pastime can improve your health.
B
From cooking to working out; having a pastime can improve your health.
C
From cooking to working out, and having a pastime can improve your health.
D
From cooking to working out; nonetheless, having a pastime can improve health.

Explanation

“From cooking to working out” is an introductory phrase, so a comma can separate it from the complete clause, “having a pastime can improve your health.” Choice A uses that punctuation correctly. A semicolon cannot separate an introductory phrase from the clause that follows, and adding “and” in C makes the sentence awkward and ungrammatical.
