Answer 1

A)The book Moby Dic is about Captain Ahab, who searches for a white whale.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sentence coordination means the correct correlation of clauses with equal ideas. A properly worded sentence that conveys good meaning places subjects, verbs, and objects in their correct order. The pronoun, 'who' was used to introduce a new clause that provided further information about Captain Ahab previously mentioned in the first clause. Thus, the reader has a clearer understanding of the book's content.

Sentence A provided the best revision of the wrong sentence.
