Question

Jeremy is writing a report for his science teacher about the octopus. Part of his report is below.

The ability to change its color instantly is one of the many weapons an octopus uses against its prey. Another tactic the octopus uses is to camouflage itself against the sandy ocean floor. When a totally clueless fish or crab wanders by, the octopus strikes, it jets out from its hiding place and grabs its prey.


What would be a good way to change the wording of the sentence, "When a totally clueless fish or crab wanders by," to better fit with the rest of the report?
A.
when a totally basic fish or crab wanders by
B.
when an unsuspecting fish or crab wanders by
C.
when a totally doomed crab or fish wanders by
D.
when a fish without a prayer wanders by

Answer 1

B. When an unsuspecting fish or crab wanders by

Step-by-step explanation:

If he writes any of the other things, he might think it's funny, but it could come off as fooling around. To some teachers, it could look like he isn't taking the assignment seriously. While teachers grade assignments, they check for proper grammar, punctuation, and formal writing, which could all be bonus points on your assignment/report/essay.

Hope this helps! :)
