Question

21.

Before: It is funny for readers when Walter Mitty has another detailed fantasy of saving the world in his
imagination
After: In his imagination, Walter Mitty saves the world, and readers laugh at his detailed fantasies.

The revised sentence does NOT...
A add a gerund phrase
B. remove a weak starter
C. add a prepositional phrase starter
D. replace the linking verb with action

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

D is true. saves and laugh are two action verbs. has is passive.

C is true. the starter is In his imagination and that is a prepositional phrase.

B It is funny for readers is not all that bad. But In his imagination is much better. So B really is not the answer, but it is close.

That leaves you with A. I don't see a gerund phase anywhere.
