Avg score: 70% Most missed: “Which sentence is written the best?”

Sometimes, students need to change a sentence because it enhances the meaning. Some sentences need to be expanded because they are too simple. Others should be reduced because they contain too many details that do not affect the meaning of the sentence. Finally, two sentences can be combined so the text won’t sound choppy when read aloud.
