part b: identify & revise (questions 11-13)

1. the following sentence is too repetitive: \i woke up. i brushed my teeth. i packed my bag. i ran to the bus.\ rewrite it as one sentence that shows variety.
2. identify the sentence below that needs sentence variety: a. the sun set behind the hills. b. the sky turned bright orange. c. we sat quietly and watched. d. the hills were dark.

Explanation:

1. Combine the actions with appropriate conjunctions to show variety. For 12, sentences with similar simple - subject - verb - object/ complement structures lack variety.
2. After waking up, I brushed my teeth, packed my bag, and ran to the bus.
3. These sentences are all simple and could be combined for variety. But if we consider them separately, none of them inherently 'needs' variety more than the others as they are all simple statements. However, if we were to combine them, we could say something like "As the sun set behind the hills, the sky turned bright orange, and we sat quietly watching the dark hills." But just based on the given options, if we have to choose one, perhaps C as it could be expanded to show more context about what was being watched.

Answer:

1. After waking up, I brushed my teeth, packed my bag, and ran to the bus.
2. C. We sat quietly and watched.
