Question

What change should be made to the sentence to improve its correctness?

a. Remove the comma after 14
b. Change "traveling" to "traveled"
c. Change "became" to "becoming"
d. Insert a comma after "Yeager"

Answer 1

The correct change to improve the sentence is to a. remove the comma after 14.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct change that should be made to the sentence is to remove the comma after 14. In this sentence, the comma is unnecessary and creates a grammatical error. Therefore, option a. Remove the comma after 14 is the correct answer.

Commas are often used to separate clauses in a sentence. For example, 'I finally found my keys, and I got to work just in time.' In this sentence, the comma is placed before the coordinating conjunction 'and' that separates two independent clauses.
