what change needs to be made to sentence sixteen And
- 00:32
here the potential answer All right well our spidey senses
- 00:37
tell us that something's up with certain sixteen with great
- 00:41
knowledge comes great responsibility to help people with their spelling
- 00:44
and grammar so let's get to it Option a isn't
- 00:48
going to help in this sentence Changing organic to organically
- 00:53
would only cause additional problems Organic is an adjective describing
- 00:57
the noun style If we added the letters l l
- 01:00
y to the end of organic it would turn the
- 01:04
educative into an end for an adverb don't allowed teo
- 01:07
described now so this option is definitely off the list
- 01:11
Option b is eerily similar to option A nearby is
- 01:14
an adverb that describes the adjective unrecognizable No problems here
- 01:19
right Right But if we sniffed the l y ending
- 01:22
we'd turn nearly into the adjective near now This isn't
- 01:26
grammatically incorrect all the time Since adjectives can describe other
- 01:30
adjectives however it would change the meaning of at least
- 01:32
a sense The point here isn't that o'keefe organic style
- 01:36
made unrecognizable designs that seemed near or close to the
- 01:40
viewer The point is that they were nearly or almost
- 01:44
unrecognizable Our teacher used to say the same thing about
- 01:48
our self portrait but that's a separate issue you know
- 01:51
Why didn't we become things all right Well anyway the
- 01:53
correct answer is c sentence sixteen is correct Step for
- 01:55
the spelling of unrecognizable to swap out the eye for
- 01:59
anay and we're good to go and since we found
- 02:01
an error we can also eliminate option d those quickly
- 02:05
red lines and word aren't some weird form of artistic
- 02:08
expression They're there to help us so yeah go ahead 00:02:11.233 --> [endTime] gives bell check it click We'll wait
