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
