Step-by-step explanation:

  • The correct way to revise this sentence would be as follows: While she slept, the alarm kept ringing in Jamie's ear. When "while" is used as a conjuction it has two meanings: it describes something that is taking place at the same time as something else or it indicates a constrast.
