A. Delete checked
B. Replaced looked with is looking
C. Insert still after he
D. No change needs to be made to this sentence​

Answer 1

A. Delete checked

Step-by-step explanation:

"Checked" in this sentence is redundant and unnecessary, as it makes this a run-on sentence.

Run-on sentence: There is a run-on sentence when two or more independent clauses are inappropriately joined.

This statement must be modified by deleting the word "checked" for good flow; alternatively, it might be rewritten using the following example:

• William searched behind the door, in the closet, and under the bed, but was unable to locate his second sneaker.
