Thank you We sneak in and here's your shmoop du

00:05

jour brought to you by world war two proving just

00:07

how bad a sequel Khun b Yeah i checked the

00:11

following passage Walter james twenty on a b r tha

00:18

family and yeah let's Move it on out Which of

00:21

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
