Final answer:

The best-constructed sentence is B, as it uses the proper punctuation and grammar to describe the suspect while providing a clear description.

Step-by-step explanation:

Choose the sentence with the best construction: The correct option is B. The suspect, described as an Asian man wearing a green New York Jets sweatshirt, fled on foot toward the Woodside Houses. This sentence is properly punctuated, with commas setting off the appositive phrase which gives more information about the suspect. It clearly identifies the suspect and provides a vivid description which makes the sentence more informative. Care should be taken to use 'an' before 'Asian' rather than 'a' because 'Asian' begins with a vowel sound.
