Question 40 • English Language Arts 10

Read this example of incorrect sentence structure. Paula is moving to Chicago, winters are cold there. Which revision best corrects the sentence?

Answer
A
Paula is moving to Chicago, where winters are cold.
B
Paula is moving to Chicago; however, winters are cold there.
C
Paula is moving to Chicago, so winters are cold there.
D
Paula is moving to Chicago winters are cold there.

Explanation

The original sentence joins two complete thoughts with only a comma, creating a comma splice. Choice A fixes this by connecting the ideas with “where,” making “where winters are cold” describe Chicago. Choice B uses “however” in a way that suggests contrast, and choice C suggests that moving to Chicago causes the cold winters.
