Question

what change should be made in sentence 3? change made to making. change an to a. change softest to softer. no change is needed.

Explanation:

To determine the correct change, we analyze each option:

• Changing "made" to "making" would likely create a grammatical error as the context (not fully shown but typical for such questions) likely requires a past - participle or correct verb form, and this change doesn't fit.
• Changing "an" to "a" depends on the following word's initial sound. Since we don't have the full sentence, but usually in such questions, if the next word starts with a consonant - sound, "a" is correct. However, the most common error - type in such questions related to adjectives is degree (comparative vs superlative).
• Changing "softest" (superlative) to "softer" (comparative) is a common error correction. If the sentence is comparing two things, "softer" (comparative) is correct instead of "softest" (superlative which is for three or more things). Without the full sentence, but based on typical question structures, this is the most probable correct change.
• "No change is needed" is incorrect as one of the above changes (most likely the adjective degree change) is needed.

Answer:

C. Change softest to softer.
