Thank you We sneak in Sorry And here's your shmoop

00:08

du jour brought to you by cubism it's not just

00:11

for squares All right we'll check out the following passage

00:14

Alright we're skimming skimming Yeah we're skimming were still skimming

00:18

sick correa We love reading this piece It's awesome probably

00:22

written by like george will time magazine guy won the

00:25

nobel prize for literature Yeah okay we're done what's The

00:29

best way to rewrite sentences eight and nine and here

00:32

the potential answers Making it seem just all right home

00:41

and we have some problems here Well let's read it

00:44

He created cubism which breaks the subject down into shapes

00:49

and rearranges them making it seem like you can see

00:52

the subject from every angle at once Oh it's awful

00:56

sentence nine is a phrase not a full sentence So

00:59

it's not allowed out in the world all alone like

01:01

a kid is not big enough to walk to school

01:03

yet All right well we'll start by crossing off option

01:06

d We've already figured out the sentence Nine needs some

01:09

help So this one's a freebie just be isn't any

01:11

better than he leases original version he created cubism is

01:15

a complete sentence with its own subject he and verve

01:18

created which breaks the subject down Yeah yeah got it

01:22

got it is a fragment like the original number nine

01:25

This is a phrase not a complete sentence All right

01:29

we're fragment free and choice See But that doesn't mean

01:31

it's the right answer Well this option has a bad

01:33

case of the misplaced modifiers The whole thing is pretty

01:36

convoluted So it's a little hard to tell what the

01:38

intention is it Looks like the opening phrase is trying

01:41

to describe cubism but as it is it feels like

01:46

it's describing the pronoun he because all might have been

01:49

miraculously but we doubt you could see him from every

01:52

angle all it wants All right we'll answer is correct

01:55

All we have to do is use accommodate connect fragment

01:58

e sentence nine to sentence eight then we just do

02:01

some slight rewarding for clarity's sake And we've got a

02:04

complete sentence that shows how cubism works Eat your heart

02:08

out picasso Now we've got the know how to take 00:02:10.765 --> [endTime] the cubist world by storm
